Current Events > So a Neo-Nazi here has been charged with killing 4 First Nations women

(+) Yeah! (+)

He had been charged with killing a girl earlier this year after partial remains were found in a garbage bin and then in the city dump, and now they've connected him to 3 more (one unknown, two were known missing persons).

Four Indigenous women in Winnipeg are believed to be dead at the hands of an alleged serial killer.

Jeremy Anthony Michael Skibicki, 35, is now facing four charges of first-degree murder following an investigation that started back in May following the death of an Indigenous woman.

On May 16, 2022, police provided details about the death of 24-year-old Rebecca Contois after her partial remains were found near an apartment building in the 200 block of Edison Avenue. Additional remains were later found in June at the Brady Landfill.

Skibicki was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Contois' death.

Police continued to investigate saying they didn't rule out the possibility that there were more victims.

On Thursday, police announced that three more victims had been identified. It is believed they were killed before Contois, between March and May.

One woman, who has not yet been identified, is believed to have been killed around March 15, 2022. Police said the victim is an Indigenous woman in her mid-20s with an average build.

Two other women have been identified, 39-year-old Morgan Beatrice Harris of Winnipeg, who is believed to have been killed on or around May 1, and 26-year-old Marcedes Myran of Winnipeg, who is believed to have been killed on or around May 4.

Both Harris and Myran were members of Long Plain First Nation.

As a result of the investigation, police said they have charged Skibicki with three more counts of first-degree murder.

The charges against Skibicki have not been proven in court.

Mayor Scott Gillingham called Thursday a painful day for Winnipeg.

We must never become numb to the horrors of the news that were hearing today, because every homicide represents a life, he said. As a father, as a husband, I feel deep sorrow for these lives that have been lost far too early.

Police Chief Danny Smyth said it's unsettling when there is "any kind of serial killing," adding these homicides are unsettling because "they involve Indigenous women."

Police released a photo of a jacket they say is similar to the one believed to have been worn by the unidentified woman who was killed in March wore. The jacket is reversible, and contains a black and white pattern, the words baby phat, a fur hood, and a cat-like logo on the front and back of the jacket.

The last thing we want is this victim to be a Jane Doe, said Inspector Shawn Pike with the major crimes unit.

The three new homicides bring the citys total for the year to 50, a number Gillingham called unacceptable.

As mayor, as a citizen, I cannot accept that, and as a city, we must not accept it, he said. We need to do more.

Smyth called the four homicides senseless and tragic acts.

We will do our best to support the families now and into the future as these investigations move towards prosecutions, he said.

And before anyone tries the "It doesn't say anything about him being a Neo-Nazi" card, it's well-documented:

CBC reviewed posts on a Facebook page linked to Skibicki, dated before his arrest, which was rife with violent sentiments, as well as antisemitic, misogynistic and white supremacist material.

...

In his Facebook bio, Skibicki declares himself an "official member of 'Holy Europe,'" which is a small faction of a broader far-right movement, Loewen said.

"Holy Europe is part of a broader picture that he was interested in a range of movements and groups which are associated with or which are embedded within what I call a broader fascist ecosystem," Loewen said.

Holy Europe, also known as the Alliance of Patriotic Parallel Movements of European Folks, demands the re-Christianization of Europe and its colonies, its website said. The website promotes the belief that white Europeans need to preserve their bloodlines from being diluted, for example, through race-mixing, multiculturalism, immigration and other things.

Shit's fucked up man.

You said here I was kind of expecting a GameFAQs user

Fucking scum should be thrown into a pit.

Sadly, this probably won't get much media attention. Indigenous women and girls going missing and getting murdered is a huge problem here, but it gets largely ignored by big media companies.

Same, I'm not even Canadian.

poor women.

at least he's off the streets now, but who knows how many other people he might have hurt or killed

They only connected him to those other 3 after months of investigations, and given the small timeframe all 4 occurred in (basically a two-month span), I would be surprised if there were any more at this point.
