Manitoba government approves plan to search landfill where remains of murdered women are expected to be found
The Manitoba government has given environmental approval to a planned search of a landfill for the remains of two slain First Nations women.
“We still have a long road ahead of us, but we are finally getting started,” read a message posted on social media by Myran’s sister Jorden Myran. Skibicki’s first-degree murder trial wrapped up Monday with closing arguments and the judge has reserved his decision until next month. Defence lawyers argued Skibicki should be found not criminally responsible due to mental illness.
The New Democrats promised to search the landfill before winning the election. Kinew said Tuesday the groundwork for the search has already been laid. Unlike many other landfills, Prairie Green accepts asbestos, a material that can cause cancer if ingested. Materials containing asbestos are required to be put in thick double bags to prevent the asbestos from becoming airborne.
