Convicted Canadian serial killer Pickton has been hospitalized and is in a life-threatening condition after an assault at a Quebec prison, authorities said Tuesday, May 21, 2024.
A 51-year-old inmate was in custody for the assault on Pickton, police spokesman Hugues Beaulieu said earlier this month. The remains or DNA of 33 women, many picked up from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, were found on Pickton's farm in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. He once bragged to an undercover police officer that he killed a total of 49 women.
Vancouver police were criticized for not taking the cases seriously because many of the missing were sex workers or drug users."The investigation will examine all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the assault, including whether policies and protocols were followed," the service said in the statement.
