The Commanding Officer at CFB Trenton is facing murder charges in the deaths of Jessica Lloyd in Belleville and Marie France Comeau in Brighton. At a press conference in Belleville today OPP Detective Inspector Chris Nicholas announced that Colonel Russ Williams was arrested in Ottawa last night in connection with the deaths…and, two home invasions and sexual assaults in the Tweed area last September. Belleville Police Chief Cory McMullan says Williams came to investigators attention during last Thursday night’s roadside canvass of Highway-37 in front of Lloyd’s home. Employees at CFB Trenton tell our newsroom the base is in a state of shock and has essentially been closed down for the day. Williams took over as the Commanding Officer at 8-Wing in July. Jessica’s was found this morning near the golf course off Carry Road. Comeau’s body was discovered in her home on Raglan Street in Brighton in late November.
