Police in the Canadian province of Manitoba have found the body of an indigenous woman in a city landfill, less than a year after remains of another woman were discovered in the same location.
The body of Linda Mary Beardy, 33, was recovered from the Brady landfill in Winnipeg on Monday.
It is where the remains of Rebecca Contois were found on 16 May.
Police said they believe the two deaths are unrelated.
Ms Contois, 24, is one of four indigenous women who are believed to have been killed by an alleged serial killer in Winnipeg, who has since been arrested. The bodies of the other three have not yet been found.
