May 30, 2025
Almost one year after serial killer Robert Pickton died following an assault by another inmate in a Quebec prison, there have been no charges against the alleged assailant and few answers about what happened.Pickton died in hospital on May 31, 2024, after being assaulted at the Port-Cartier maximum security prison 12 days prior. The 74-year-old was convicted in 2007 of six counts of second-degree murder but was suspected of killing dozens more women at his pig farm in Port Coquitlam, B.C.The Correctional Service of Canada first issued a release on May 20 last year about a “major assault” on an inmate, adding “the assailant has been identified and the appropriate actions have been taken.” The agency later confirmed the injured inmate was Pickton, and that he had died.
Authorities say the aircraft operated by Airmedic crashed around 10:30 p.m. on Friday with five people aboard the chopper.
