BELLEVILLE, Ontario — The lawyer for a military commander who flew Queen
Elizabeth II and other dignitaries around Canada said Thursday his client
will plead guilty to murder, sexual assaults and dozens of breaking and
entering charges.
Col. Russell Williams was the commander of Canada's largest Air Force base
until he was charged earlier this year with the murder of two women, the
sexual assault of two others and 82 break-ins, during which he stole women's
panties.
Michael Edelson, Williams' lawyer, told a judge at a hearing Thursday that
Williams intends to plead guilty to all the charges at his next court
appearance on Oct. 18. Williams appeared at the hearing but did not speak.
The case shocked the country, hurt soldiers' morale and prompted fears that
the commander of Canada's most high-profile military base and the man who
once flew the country's prime ministers could have been a serial killer.

..Williams, who was born in England and raised in Canada, was pictured with
the British queen and her husband, Prince Philip, on the front page of the
newspaper of Canadian Forces Base Trenton while he served as their pilot
during a 2005 visit.
Williams waived his right to a preliminary hearing in August and was ordered
to stand trial and return to court on Thursday. The 47-year-old is charged
with the first-degree murder of Jessica Lloyd, 27, whose body was found in
February, and Marie Comeau, a 38-year-old corporal under his command who was
found dead in her home last November. Both women were asphyxiated.
He faces an automatic sentence of life in prison with no possibility for
parole for at least 25 years. |
