Some of the last documented moments of two victims of an admitted serial killer have been played in a Winnipeg courtroom.

Video surveillance of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran have been shown at the murder trial of Jeremy Skibicki.

In one video, Skibicki is seen with Harris at a resource centre in the city, while in another video he is seen with Myran in the neighbourhood where he lived.

Skibicki has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder for the 2022 slayings of four women: Harris, Myran, Rebecca Contois and an unidentified women Indigenous leaders have named Buffalo Woman.

The Crown has said the killings were racially motivated and Skibicki preyed on the vulnerable Indigenous women at homeless shelters.

His lawyers have said he killed the women but argue he’s not criminally responsible due to mental illness.

Court has heard DNA from three of the victims as well as some of their clothing and jewelry were found in Skibicki’s apartment.

The judge-alone trial is scheduled to continue until June 6.
