Serial killer Robert Pickton in critical condition after prison attack

Pickton, 74, underwent surgery after 'major assault' at Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec on Sunday

Convicted B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton*is in*critical condition and underwent surgery*after he was*attacked by another inmate in a Quebec prison on Sunday.

The Correctional Service*Canada (CSC) confirmed in a statement*Tuesday that Pickton was the victim of a "major assault" at the maximum-security Port-Cartier Institution and has been taken to hospital.
Two sources, including one police source, told Radio-Canada that 74-year-old Pickton was between life and death on Tuesday. Prison officials declined to share information about his current condition Wednesday.

The assailant is in isolation, according to Hughes Beaulieu, a spokesperson for*the Quebec provincial police, the Sûreté du Québec*(SQ), which is investigating.
Beaulieu said the assailant is*a 51-year-old man but added that he does not know the man's identity.
He said Pickton was undergoing surgery shortly before 10:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday and it will take a few weeks*before the SQ transfers the case to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DCPC) to press charges.*

In 2007, Pickton was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of women who disappeared from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
They were Sereena Abotsway, Mona Wilson, Andrea Joesbury, Marnie Frey, Georgina Papin and Brenda Wolfe.
The remains or DNA of 33 women, many of whom were Indigenous, were found on Pickton's pig farm in Port Coquitlam, about 25 kilometres east of downtown Vancouver.
Pickton was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of full parole for 25 years.

I remember the case. He killed 49 women, mostly prostitutes, after the many parties he held together with his brother on his pig farm. Some women he injected with antifreeze. He confessed in jail to an undercover as he wanted to rech the big 5-0 when it comes to victims.
Hope he dies as this saves tax payers money.

UPDATE:

QUEBEC, Canada (May 31, 2024) — Canadian serial killer Robert Pickton, who took female victims to his pig farm during a crime spree near Vancouver in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has died after being assaulted in prison, authorities said Friday. He was 74.

The Correctional Service of Canada said in statement that Pickton, an inmate of Port-Cartier Institution in the province of Quebec, died in hospital following injuries in the May 19 assault involving another inmate. He was one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers and his case made international headlines.

A 51-year-old inmate was in custody for the assault on Pickton, police spokesman Hugues Beaulieu said earlier this month.

The family of one of Robert Pickton's victims says the convicted serial killer suffered an incredibly violent death at the hands of another inmate.

"The guy that assaulted him stabbed him first with a toothbrush in the neck, and then he broke a broom handle," Rick Frey told CTV News on Friday, recounting allegations shared by his lawyer. "And when you break something like a broom handle, you always get a sharp end, and so he took the sharp end and he stuck it into his nose, up into his skull."

One of Pickton's many victims, Rick's daughter Marnie Frey went missing in 1997 at age 24.

To stepmother Lynn Frey, Pickton's violent demise still pales in comparison to the pain he inflicted.

"I guess he suffered at the end somewhere along the line," she said. "But he still, in my view, hasn't suffered enough for all the deaths that he caused, all the women that are gone."

Pickton died Friday following a May 19 attack at a maximum security prison in Quebec(opens in a new tab). He was 74.

Officials described it as a "major assault" resulting in life-threatening injuries, but provided few specific details. A 51-year-old suspect remains incarcerated.

One of Canada's most prolific serial killers, Pickton lured women from Vancouver's troubled Downtown Eastside neighbourhood to his rural pig farm in nearby Port Coquitlam. Many were sex workers.

After being charged with the murders of 26 women, Pickton was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2007. The partial remains of 33 women were found on his farm and he bragged about killing a total of 49, one short of his grisly goal.

"There's not a day that goes by that we don't think about her," Lynn said. "And you know, I have a few of her remains. Hopefully they're her. I'm not 100 per cent guaranteed."

Marnie Frey was among Pickton's six confirmed victims. The Freys say many other families will never get the closure they did.

"At least we got a little bit of accountability from Marnie, but all the other families got nothing," Lynn said. "You know, there's a lot of families that never had their day in court and never will. And how can they? I can't imagine how they feel over this."

The Freys and other victims' families are now fighting the RCMP's plan to return or destroy thousands of pieces of evidence seized for the case(opens in a new tab).

"I would like to say that just because Pickton's gone doesn't mean that this case is over," Rick said.

"At the end of the day he's gone, you know, the families are suffering still," Lynn added. "I can't let it go. I can still fight, I mean the Downtown Eastside has never changed … It's just as bad now as it was 20 years ago when Marnie was down there. Has that changed? No. Has the drug thing changed? No. Will there be another serial killer? Absolutely."

I have to agree. When society becomes so degenerate it coddles serial killers, it is left to victims friends and family to ensure justice is served. With 49 young women killed, he was sure to have some dedicated enemies and one of them probably paid or convinced a convict to kill this asshole.
