Police have confirmed that a second set of remains found at the Prairie Green landfill near Winnipeg belong to Marcedes Myran, one of four Indigenous women who fell victim to a serial killer in 2022, the province announced on Monday.

Myran, 26, was one of two individuals whose remains were discovered at the landfill in February. The first set of remains, belonging to Morgan Harris, 39, were identified earlier this month.
