Queen Elizabeth's former pilot's underwear charges
Apr 30, 2010, 13:05 GMT
A Canadian pilot, who at one time flew Britain's Queen Elizabeth, has been handed 82 charges of stealing women's underwear.
Colonel Russell Williams - who was the commander of Canada's largest air force base - already faces two charges of murder and two charges of sexual assault and has now been linked with the thefts of ladies' lingerie from dozens of homes.
Williams, who flew the queen and other dignitaries in 2005, appeared in court in Belleville, Ontario, yesterday (29.04.10) via video link from a detention centre where he is being held in isolation.
He is alleged to have stolen underwear from Ottawa, where he has a house, and Ontario, where the colonel was appointed commander of the Trenton military base last year.
The murders he is charged with are both of women, and the sexual assault charges he faces are both unrelated.
Williams has reportedly attempted suicide and gone on hunger strike earlier this month.
