A man charged in the death of a woman whose body was found in a Winnipeg garbage bin has been charged in three further homicides, police say.
Jeremy Anthony Michael Skibicki, 35, was charged with first-degree murder after the remains of 24-year-old Rebecca Contois were found near an apartment building in a back lane in the 200 block of Edison Avenue May 16.
At the time of the arrest, police said further victims were possible, and an ongoing investigation had led officers to also search at the Brady Road landfill in Winnipeg.
On Thursday police said “additional victims have now been identified” and Skibicki has been charged with “three additional murders.”
