TRENTON, Ontario, Feb. 8 -- A senior Canadian military officer has been arrested and charged with the first-degree murder of two Ontario women, authorities said.

Wing Commander Col. Russell Williams, 46, commanding officer at Canadian Forces Base Trenton in south-eastern Ontario, was arrested Sunday in connection with the deaths of Marie France Comeau, 38, and Jessica Lloyd, 27, The Montreal Gazette reported.

Lloyd was reported missing Jan. 29 when she failed to show up for work. Her last communication was a text message to a family friend Jan. 28 at 10:36 p.m., the Gazette said.

Initial helicopter and ground searches near her Belleville home, about 100 miles northeast of Toronto, turned up no sign of her. Her body was found Monday in the small town of Tweed, about 20 miles from Trenton.

Comeau, 38, was found dead in her home, in Brighton, Ontario, Nov. 25. She was a corporal in the Armed Forces and was based at Trenton.

Williams joined the Canadian Forces in 1987 and received his pilot's wings in 1990. He was promoted to major in 1999 and to lieutenant colonel in June 2004, when he was appointed commanding officer 437 (Transport) Squadron.

As a full colonel, he became Wing Commander at Trenton in 2009.
