Winnipeg police are reporting the discovery of another Indigenous woman’s body in a landfill.

Police say the remains of Linda Mary Beardy were found Monday afternoon at the city-run Brady landfill in south Winnipeg.

Inspector Shawn Pike says the death is suspicious and is being investigated by the homicide unit.

Pike says the case is not believed to be linked to the remains of Rebecca Contois that were found in the same landfill last year, or the killings of three other women.

Police have said they believe the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran are in a different, privately run Prairie Green landfill north of Winnipeg, but they have not been found.

Jeremy Skibicki has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of these three women as well as an unidentified woman Indigenous leaders have named Buffalo Woman.
