Canadian investigators have formally identified a missing indigenous woman who was murdered by a serial killer in 2022.

Ashlee Shingoose, 30, was the first of four people killed by Jeremy Skibicki in Manitoba. She had been known only as Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe (Buffalo Woman) until her identity was discovered by investigators and revealed on Wednesday.

Police officials also shared new details about Ms Shingoose's death, including naming the local landfill where they believe her remains are located.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew pledged to conduct a search of the facility, in an effort to find her body at her family's request.
