Jeremy Skibicki's trial: ex-acquaintances to testify

WINNIPEG –

Two former acquaintances of the confessed serial killer are expected to testify in the trial today in the death of Jeremy Skibicki.

One of them details the behavior of a man accused of murdering four local women.

Skibicki faces four counts of first-degree murder in the 2022 killing.

His lawyers said he committed the murders but will not face criminal charges because of his mental illness.

Crown prosecutors say the killings were racially motivated and that Skibicki preyed on homeless women.

Skibicki's ex-wife said he was abusive and controlling during their marriage.
