Canada jails serial killer who killed for neighbor\'s flat

A Canadian serial killer was sentenced to life in prison for bludgeoning his two former wives to death with a rock, and killing his neighbor for her apartment with \"a better view.\" Former diner dishwasher Camille Cleroux, 58, admitted to killing his ex-wives Lise Roy and Jean Rock and neighbor Paula Leclair over a two decade period beginning in 1990, and burying all three women in shallow graves. Ontario Superior Court Justice Lynn Ratushny who sentenced Cleroux to 25 years in jail, according to local media, said Cleroux\'s motive \"to kill these cherished women just to get them out of your way\" was \"stomach churning.\" Leclair\'s body was found in a wooded area near old train yards in Ottawa in June 2010. Cleroux had told her son who was checking on the 64-year-old that she had gone on a trip and had left the apartment to him. He later confessed that when Leclair refused to hand over her apartment, Cleroux invited her for a walk in May 2010, killed her and buried her in a shallow grave. Cleroux told police that he wanted to move in to his neighbor\'s apartment because it was bigger and \"had a better view,\" the court reportedly heard. Roy\'s body was found buried in the backyard of the couple\'s former home. He confessed to hitting her with a rock after a heated argument in 1990, then concocted a story that Roy left him. He similarly dispatched Rock in 2003, but twice dug up her bones fearing they would be discovered, rolled them in shopping cart and dropped them in a mesh onion bag weighted down with rocks into the Rideau Canal -- a UNESCO World Heritage site. Meanwhile, Cleroux paid a friend to write letters to Rock\'s family explaining in her handwriting that she had left Cleroux to live with a trucker named Pierre.
