The former commander of CFB Trenton accused of murdering two women will reportedly plead guilty to all charges against him.
According to the Globe and Mail, Col. Russell Williams will plead guilty to all murder and sexual assault charges against him along with the 82 new charges laid this week.
In a brief court appearance by video link Thursday Williams looked fitter and less haggard than he did during his hunger strike.
Leiut-Col. Tony O’Keefe has kept in touch with the accused killer since his arrest two months ago.
“From when he came in to where he is now I think that things are unfolding. I just can’t tell,” says O’Keefe. “He looks okay to me, honestly I just can’t tell. He doesn’t talk about the case with me.”
Today in court Col. Williams agreed to waive a reading of the new charges and his case was put off until June 25. Whether that date in court will take place is unknown. At any point Col. Williams can waive his right to a preliminary hearing and either ask to go straight to trial or enter a guilty plea.
