Police in Quebec said Pickton, who was attacked at the maximum-security Port-Cartier Institution, was in a medically induced coma but that doctors planned to try to wake him soon
Advocates for alleged victims of B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton say they remain focused on getting justice for the women, as Pickton lies in a Quebec hospital in a coma after being attacked in prison.
There are also multiple ongoing lawsuits by family members of victims against Pickton and his brother, David Pickton. Pickton was convicted in 2007 on six counts of second-degree murder of six women, but is suspected of killing many more who went missing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. “I act as legal counsel for 16 children of nine women who were killed by Robert Pickton,” he said. “It’s in their interest to preserve the evidence seized by the RCMP on the Pickton farm to allow my clients to prove that Robert Pickton and David Pickton caused them to suffer loss.”
About four years ago, B.C. Mounties applied to dispose of the material found at a Ruskin, B.C., property linked to Pickton. It is now being held at RCMP warehouses. The letter opposing the destruction of that evidence, sent to the provincial government on Dec. 11, spoke to the damage that would be done to the families seeking justice.
