Chiefs want public inquiry on missing and murdered Aboriginal women

A rally will be held tonight in Winnipeg to bring attention to Manitoba’s missing and murdered Aboriginal women.

The rally was called after the arrest of Shawn Cameron Lamb, 52, charged with three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Tanya Nepinak, Carolyn Sinclair and Lorna Blacksmith.
The march will start at 6 p.m. from Young Street and Broadway to the Manitoba Legislature. Manitoba chiefs and other leaders will address the media and the crowd at 7 p.m. A vigil will be held from 8 p.m until 9 p.m.
Many have long suspected the disappearances and deaths of a number of aboriginal women in Winnipeg was the work of a serial killer.
