Colonel Russell Williams, the former commander of CFB Trenton, has been committed to stand trial on murder, sex assault, and break and enter charges. Williams, who appeared in a Belleville, Ont., court today via video, waived his right to a preliminary hearing, which is held to determine whether there’s enough evidence to move forward to trial. He is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of two women, sex assaults and 82 other charges related to break and enter. His next appearance is set for Oct. 7 in Ontario Superior Court.
