An Ottawa man arrested Wednesday and facing first-degree murder charges in the slayings of two Ottawa women in 2008 and 2011 will make a court appearance this morning.
Marc Leduc, 56, was arrested at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre in connection with the deaths of Pamela Kosmack, 39, and Leeanne Lawson, 23, his lawyer, Ian Carter, told CBC News.
Leduc was already in police custody facing eight charges connected to an alleged sexual assault in early November at a west Ottawa apartment building. He is accused of breaking into the apartment of a 19-year-old woman who was sleeping and sexually assaulting her while brandishing a knife.
Pamela Kosmack's body was found near a bike path close to Britannia Park in Ottawa on June 4, 2008. (Facebook) Leduc is scheduled to appear in court Thursday at 11:30 a.m. ET.
Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau is set to hold a news conference at 11 a.m.
Police issued warning after Lawson's death
Kosmack was found beaten to death in June 2008 on a bike path near Lincoln Fields transit station in west Ottawa.
Police recently offered $50,000 for information that would help solve the five-year-old homicide of the woman, who had struggled with addictions.
Lawson was found dead in a parking lot in Ottawa's Lowertown neighbourhood in September 2011.
Shortly after Lawson's death, then police Chief Vern White issued a warning to sex-trade workers, noting a pattern linking recent murders.
Police told CBC News more than a year ago they believed a suspect who killed multiple sex workers may be linked to the unsolved homicide of Kosmack.
"It's a bittersweet day," said Kosmack's brother-in-law, Darrin Murch, upon learning about the arrest. "It's a good day that after four years, eight months and two days, somebody's finally been charged with the murder."
"We're just trying to move on, and now my sister-in-law can rest in peace," he said.
