Here :) Between 1995 and 2001, Pickton is believed to have murdered at least 26 women, many of them prostitutes from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Pickton would confess to 49 murders to an undercover RCMP officer disguised as a cellmate, going on to say he wanted to make it an even 50, but thought he was caught because he got "sloppy".[1][2][3] In 2007, he was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years—the longest possible sentence for second-degree murder under Canadian law at the time.[4][5]
In 2010, the Crown attorney officially stayed the remaining 20 murder charges, allowing previously unrevealed information to be made available to the public, including that Pickton previously had a 1997 attempted murder charge dropped.[6] Crown prosecutors reasoned that staying the additional charges made the most sense, since Pickton was already serving the maximum sentence allowable.[6]
The discovery of Pickton's crimes sparked widespread outrage and forced the Canadian government to acknowledge the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women,[7] with the British Columbia provincial government forming the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry to examine the role of the police in the matter.[8] Pickton died in 2024 after being attacked in prison by another inmate.[9][10] also he got away with murder multiple times because he had a place called the piggy palace and the police went there and had a great time and liked him because of it and he fed the victims to his pigs and because he sold meat people also had eaten the victims without knowing also when Pickton was young he had a cute baby cow he loved but his dad skined it his dad was also a horrible man
