Should Serial Killers Serve Multiple Sentences Consecutively?

Winnipeg serial killer Jeremy Skibicki, sentenced to life for murdering four Indigenous women, will serve his sentences concurrently, not consecutively, as mandated by a 2022 Supreme Court ruling. This decision, which has sparked debate, means Skibicki will serve a single 25-year parole ineligibility period despite committing multiple murders. Critics argue that consecutive sentences would better reflect the severity of his crimes, while legal experts caution against overriding Supreme Court decisions.
