Canadian serial killer Robert Pickton, who brought female victims to his pig farm during a crime spree near Vancouver in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has passed away at the age of 74. Authorities have confirmed that he died as a result of an assault in prison.

The Correctional Service of Canada has announced that Robert Pickton, a prisoner at Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec, has passed away in the hospital. Pickton, who gained infamy as one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers, sustained severe injuries during an assault by another inmate on May 19. His case garnered significant attention both nationally and internationally.

According to police spokesperson Hugues Beaulieu, a 51-year-old inmate was taken into custody for the assault on Pickton earlier this month.

In 2007, Robert “Willie” Pickton was found guilty of six counts of second-degree murder and handed a life sentence in prison. The judge imposed a maximum parole ineligibility period of 25 years. Pickton had been accused of killing 26 women.

“This will bring healing to, not all families, but most of them,” she expressed. “I’m just amazed. Finally, I can truly move forward, find healing, and leave this behind me.”

Critics slammed the Vancouver police for their lack of seriousness in handling the cases, particularly due to the fact that a significant number of the missing individuals were either sex workers or drug users.

The correctional service in Canada is currently investigating the attack on Pickton.

“The investigation will thoroughly analyze the facts and circumstances surrounding the assault, ensuring a comprehensive review of whether all policies and protocols were adhered to,” stated the service. “We acknowledge the profound impact this offender’s case has had on communities throughout British Columbia and the nation, particularly affecting Indigenous peoples, victims, and their families. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to them during this challenging time.”

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc expressed his condolences after being informed of the inmate’s death at Port-Cartier Institution. In a statement, he stated, “My thoughts are with the families of the victims of this individual’s heinous crimes.”

During Pickton’s sentencing, Justice James Williams of the British Columbia Supreme Court emphasized that this was an exceptional case deserving of the longest possible period of parole ineligibility granted by the court.
