Convicted 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 died after being assaulted in prison, authorities said Wednesday. He was 74.
The Correctional Service Canada said in a statement that Pickton, an inmate from Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec, died in hospital following injuries resulting from an assault involving another inmate on May 19.
