The correctional service said Robert (Willie) Pickton, an inmate at Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec, died on Friday at the age of 74.
Serial killer Robert Pickton has died after he was assaulted in prison earlier this month, Quebec Provincial Police say.
Pickton was convicted by a jury of murdering six women — Sereena Abotsway, Mona Wilson, Andrea Joesbury, Brenda Ann Wolfe, Georgina Papin and Marnie Frey — at his 2007 B.C. Supreme Court trial. The former pig farmer once bragged to an undercover officer in his jail cell that he killed 49 women. More than 60 women had vanished from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside before Pickton’s arrest in February 2002.
