Canada: unidentified victim of alleged serial killer given name Buffalo Woman

Community members bestow name amid fears that the woman, who is believed to be Indigenous, would remain nameless

The unidentified victim of an alleged serial killer in Canada has been given the name Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, or Buffalo Woman, by grieving community members, amid growing fears that a woman who is believed to be Indigenous would remain nameless.

Last week, Winnipeg police charged Jeremy Skibicki in the deaths of three women. Two were named as Morgan Harris, 39, and Marcedes Myran, 26 of Long Plain First Nation, but the third woman has not been identified. Skibick had previously been charged in May in the killing of 24-year-old Rebecca Contois of O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi First Nation.
