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.
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.
