TORONTO — The commander of a major military base in Canada who once flew dignitaries around the country has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of two women and in the sexual assaults of two other women.
Ontario Provincial Police Det. Insp. Chris Nicholas said Monday that Col. Russell Williams, 46, was arrested Sunday in Ottawa.
Williams was appointed as the base commander of Canadian Forces Base Trenton in Trenton, Ontario last July. Trenton is Canada's largest Air Force base and is providing logistical support for Canada's missions in Haiti and Afghanistan.
Williams is charged with the first-degree murder of Jessica Lloyd, 27, of a Belleville, Ontario, resident whose body was found earlier Monday, and Marie Comeau, a 38-year-old corporal found dead in her Brighton, Ontario, home in November.
Authorities said Williams came to the attention of police during a roadside canvas on Feb. 4, six days after Lloyd was deemed missing.
Williams is also charged with forcible confinement, breaking and entering and sexual assault after two women were sexually assaulted during two separate home invasions in the Tweed, Ontario area in September of 2009.
Dan Dugas, a spokesman for Defense Minister Peter MacKay, called the charges serious but said MacKay will not comment.
Lieutenant-General Andre Deschamps, Canada's Air Force chief, said in a statement that it will review what action to take against Williams and said that an interim Trenton commander will be named.
Deschamps said the Air Force is fully supporting civilian police. He called it a difficult period but said they would support the personnel at Trenton.
