A former military commander accused of killing two women in Ontario is now under a suicide watch. Reports say Colonel Russell Williams tried to kill himself at a detention centre near Napanee over the weekend.
Williams is reported to have written a suicide note in mustard on the wall of his segregation cell, jammed the lock on the cell door, then stuffed a cardboard toilet paper roll filled with foil down his throat.
Jail staff managed to force their way into his cell to save him.
The former commander of CFB Trenton is charged with the murders of two women and the sexual assault of two others.
