Trial begins for Winnipeg serial killer who claims he was mentally ill
1 minute read Updated: 11:49 AM CDTWINNIPEG - A Crown prosecutor has told court the man who killed four women in Winnipeg staked out homeless shelters and targeted vulnerable, Indigenous victims.
The trial of Jeremy Skibicki, who is 37, started this morning in front of Manitoba Court of King's Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal.
The Crown alleges Skibicki acted out of hatred when he killed Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran and a fourth unidentified woman Indigenous leaders have named Buffalo Woman.
Defence lawyers say Skibicki admits to the slayings but should be found not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder.

3 minute read 2:00 AM CDTA downtown shootout that left one man dead and sent another to hospital was sparked by a beef over drug turf, a Winnipeg court heard this week.
Twenty-seven-year-old Gunni Hassen is on trial for second-degree murder in the Feb. 9, 2022, shooting death of 30-year-old Abduwasi Ahmed.
“This case is about gang rivalry, specifically the ongoing retaliatory violence between two gangs,” prosecutor Libby Standil told King’s Bench Justice Chris Martin in a brief introductory overview of the Crown’s case Monday.
“While the rivalry has its roots in competition over the drug trade, it’s about more than that — it’s about allegiances and revenge,” Standil said, not identifying the gangs by name.

2 minute read Updated: 1:14 PM CDTNEW YORK (AP) — A cruise ship sailed into a New York City port with a 44-foot (13-meter) dead whale across its bow, marine authorities said.
The whale, identified as an endangered sei whale, was caught on the ship's bow when it arrived at the Port of Brooklyn on Saturday, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries spokesperson Andrea Gomez said.
A spokesperson for MSC Cruises said the whale was on the MSC Meraviglia, which docked at Brooklyn before sailing to ports in New England and Canada.
“We immediately notified the relevant authorities, who are now conducting an examination of the whale,” officials with the cruise line said in a statement.
