The trial of admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki is hearing details of the exhaustive search to find the remains of his victims.
Police Const. Brian Neumann testified officers had to be outfitted with protective suits and boots as well as full-face respirator masks in searching a Winnipeg landfill for the remains of Rebecca Contois.
He says officers looked for days and covered more than a hectare of the landfill in the summer of 2022 before they found partial remains of the woman.
His lawyers have told court that he admits to the killings but is not criminally responsible due to mental illness.
Court has heard that DNA from three of the victims as well as some of their belongings were found in Skibicki’s apartment.

Crown prosecutors say the killings were racially motivated, with Skibicki a self-proclaimed white supremacist who preyed on the vulnerable women at homeless shelters.
