The 23-year-old accused of murdering four women in British Columbia’s north is set to begin his trial today.

Cody Allan Legebokoff is charged with four counts of murder in connection with the murders of Prince George-area women.

He was arrested in November 2010 after police traced a suspicious vehicle to the body of 15-year-old Loren Donn Leslie -- just hours after she had been killed near a remote logging road.

Legebokoff is also charged in the deaths of two other women -- Jill Stuchenko and Cynthia Mass.

The body of a fourth woman, 23-year-old Natasha Montgomery, has never been found.

The women started disappearing from the area in 2009.

Legebokoff was described by family and friends as a pleasant athlete who was well liked by his peers during high school.
