Convicted B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton is in critical condition and undergoing surgery after he was assaulted 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.
Two sources, including one police source, told Radio-Canada that Pickton is between life and death.
Pickton was taken to a hospital for treatment and the assailant is in solitary confinement according to the Quebec provincial police, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), which is investigating.
33 victims! Wow can’t believe this has been happening in 21st century.
Well, more like 20th century. He was active from early 90s to 2002.
Crazy we never heard about him in history classes then.
Why would you? Pretty sure other than colonists my social studies didn’t talk about serial killers untill law class in grade 11
Last I heard the history of the October Crisis wasn’t being taught either.
It’s taught in Québec.
Quebec is often smarter than the rest of Canada.
I grew up in the Vancouver area at that time, and was family friends with the family of one of the victims. No one even gave a shit at the time it was happening.
What? Do you think there have ever been only like 4 serial killers in all of history and you learn about all of them in school? There have been thousands all over the world in just the past few decades.
Mostly victims were native women he picked up on the street, I believe. The kind of people the cops actively avoid thinking about, even today. Another Picton could happen today, no problem.

That’s an adjective missing a noun.
That’s what I think you meant.
