Colonel charged with murder, sexual assaults, breaking and entering
Belleville: A commander who was a rising star in Canada's military pleaded guilty on Monday to the murders of two women, the sexual assaults of two others and dozens of breaking and entering charges in which he stole panties from the bedrooms of girls as young as 11.
Col Russell Williams, who once flew prime ministers and served as a pilot to Queen Elizabeth II during a visit, was the commander of Canada's largest Air Force base until he was charged earlier this year.
He pleaded guilty to two first-degree murder charges, two sexual assaults and 82 breaking and entering charges in a Belleville, Ontario court. The 47-year-old faces a sentence of life in prison with no possibility for parole for at least 25 years.
Williams was expressionless and dressed in a dark suit, and he kept his head down as the charges were read. The list of charges was so long that it took nearly 40 minutes to read it into the record.
"Guilty, your honour," he said after the charges were entered.
Prosecutors said Williams targeted girls and women in their teens and 20s and often photographed himself in their underwear.

At the sentencing hearing following his guilty plea, prosecutors showed photographs of Williams wearing a 12-year-old girl's cartoon-decorated underwear, with his genitalia protruding from them, while he was lying on her bed. Other photos showed him wearing underwear belonging to 11-year-old twins. In some of the pictures he was masturbating.
Authorities said he carefully catalogued the photos of himself in the victims' underwear with time and date stamps on hard drives in his Ottawa home. Some of the photos were panoramic shots of the victims' bedrooms. He would take the lingerie with him, keeping them in bags and boxes in his home and would sometimes burn them if he ran out of space. Prosecutors also said Williams videotaped the assaults and murders.
Williams, who was born in England and raised in Canada, was pictured with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, on the front page of the newspaper of Canadian Forces Base Trenton during their 2005 visit. He was photographed in January with Defence Minister Peter MacKay during an inspection of a Canadian aircraft on its way to support relief efforts in Haiti. He is alleged to have killed his second victim just over a week after this.
He pleaded guilty to the murder of Jessica Lloyd, 27, whose body was found in February, and Marie Comeau, a 38-year-old corporal under his command who was found dead in her home last November.
Williams also pleaded guilty to forcible confinement, breaking and entering and sexual assault after two women were attacked during home invasions in the Tweed, Ontario area in September 2009.
