The commander of a major military base in Canada has been
charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of two women
and in the sexual assaults of two other women.
Ontario Provincial Police Det. Insp. Chris Nicholas said on
Monday that Col. Russell Williams, 46, was arrested Sunday in
Ottawa.
Williams was appointed as the base commander of Canadian
Forces Base Trenton in Trenton, Ontario last July. He also
used to fly dignitaries around Canada.
He's charged with the first-degree murder of Jessica Lloyd,
27, and Marie Comeau, a 38-year-old corporal. Lloyd's body
was found earlier Monday.
Dan Dugas, a spokesman for Defense Minister Peter MacKay,
called the charged charges serious but says MacKay will not
comment.
