May 22, 2024
Crown prosecutors rested their case on Wednesday against a man who admitted to killing, dismembering and disposing the bodies of four First Nations women, prompting a Winnipeg superior court to adjourn his trial until early next month.Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers are scheduled to present their arguments before Court of King’s Bench Justice Glenn Joyal on June 3. His attorneys intend to demonstrate that he was too mentally ill to be held criminally responsible of first-degree murder.
