Murdered Indigenous women cases lack attention
The remains of an Indigenous woman murdered by a convicted serial killer three years ago have been found in a landfill in central Canada, local authorities confirmed following a monthslong search.
Morgan Harris was one of the Indigenous women slain by Jeremy Skibicki, who is serving multiple life sentences after being convicted of four murders last year.
Skibicki met his victims in homeless shelters, in a case seen as a symbol of the dangers faced by Indigenous women in Canada, where they disproportionately fall victim to violence, termed a “genocide” by a national public inquiry in 2019.
Testimony at Skibicki’s trial said he raped, killed and dismembered Harris and another woman, Marcedes Myran, in 2022.
