Canadian air force officer Colonel Russell Williams has been given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years for two murders and sexual assaults.



Williams, who once acted as pilot for Queen Elizabeth II, pleaded guilty to the murder of 38-year-old Marie Comeau and 27-year-old Jessica Lloyd.



Williams is said to have carried out sexual assaults on two other women.



He had pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder, two sexual assaults and 82 counts of breaking-and-entering.



The former pilot also admitted a string of burglaries, in which he stole women's underwear.



Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Scott described the 47-year-old as a sick and dangerous man who will always be remembered as a sadosexual serial killer
