The remains of another indigenous woman killed by the serial criminal found at the Canada Waste Warehouse confirm

The remnants of a second indigenous woman killed by a convicted serial killer were found in a waste warehouse in the center of Canada, the authorities confirmed on Monday, after the remains of another victim were identified earlier this month.

Marcedes Myran was one of the indigenous women killed three years ago by Jeremy Skibickiwhich executes several life sentences after being convicted of four crimes last year.

Skibicki met the victims in homeless shelters, in a case seen as a symbol of the dangers that indigenous women in Canada faces, where the victim of violence, called “genocide” by a national public inquiry in 2019 fall.

The testimony to Skibicki’s trial said he raped, killed and dismantled Myran and another woman, Morgan Harris, in 2022.

The authorities believed that their remains were thrown on the site of Prairie Green Deposit, north of Winnipeg, the capital of the Province Manitoba. They had been looking for the site for months.

Last month, the Manitoba authorities announced the discovery of two bodies.

Morgan Harris’s remains were identified on March 7.

Federal Police of Manitoba Confirmed months The other set of “human remnants found in search of the landfill Prairie Green were identified as those of Marcedes Myran in Long Plain First Nation,” a statement said.

The families in Harris and Myran pushed the Manitoba authorities to look for the bodies.

The body of another victim of Skibicki, Rebecca Contois, was found in a separate warehouse and in a trash, while the remains of a fourth victim not identified in the 20s, are still missing.

In December 2022, the Winnipeg police chief Danny Smyth wrote an open letter Indigenous leaders, recognizing the “unimaginable” pain around the case.

“The investigation that involved the crimes of Rebecca Contois, Marcedes Myran, Morgan Harris and Buffalo Woman was one of the most complex and important investigations on homicide during my term,” Smith wrote. “I have heard calls from families, indigenous leadership and community. I understand your calls; pain and sadness are unimaginable.”

Indigenous women represent about one-fifth of all women killed in gender-related homicides-despite the fact that they have included only five percent of the female population.

There is a similar crisis in the USwhere American native women are disproportionately targeted In crimes, sexual aggression and other acts of violence, both for reservations and in nearby cities.

In 2016 there were more than 5,700 reports on missing native women and girls, according to Anti-Sexual Rainn Assault Organizationwhich cites statistics from the National Center for Crime Information. The Indian Business Office has recently estimated that approximately 4,200 cases of indigenous and killed indigenous remains unsolved.
