The commander of Canada’s largest air force base is to plead guilty to the murder of two women and the sexual assault of two others, his lawyer says.
Col Russell Williams once acted as pilot for Queen Elizabeth II and was in charge of Base Trenton in Ontario – Canada’s busiest air force hub.
Williams’s lawyer told an Ontario court he would plead guilty to all charges.
He is also charged with 82 counts of breaking and entering. Prosecutors said he had stolen women’s underwear.
One woman was found dead in her house in November 2009. The other went missing in January this year.
