A notorious serial killer clings to life after he was brutally attacked inside a Canadian federal prison by other inmates earlier this week.
Robert Pickton, a pig farmer and multimillionaire, was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of the gruesome murders of six women in 2007 that involved dismemberment and disposing of their bodies on his family farm.
The vicious attack on "The Pig Farm Killer" was described as a "major assault" and happened on Sunday at Port-Cartier Institution, a maximum-security federal institution, the Correctional Service Canada said in a press release.
The Correctional Service Canada confirmed to Newsweek that Pickton was the victim. No staff members were injured in the attack.
"The safety and security of institutions is paramount and an investigation into what occurred is currently underway," the Correctional Service Canada told Newsweek.
Officials said they have identified the attacker and taken "appropriate actions."
Pickton was allegedly "speared in the head" by a 51-year-old fellow inmate with a broom handle made to act as a weapon. Who is Robert Pickton?
Pickton was convicted in 2007 for the murders of six women, though he confessed to killing 49. Operating from his family's pig farm in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Pickton preyed on vulnerable women from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
The gruesome details of his crimes, involving dismemberment and disposal of bodies on the farm, shocked the nation and highlighted significant flaws in the investigation by local authorities.
Pickton was initially charged with the murder of 21 people, but it was reduced to six.
Pickton once told an undercover officer in his jail cell that he killed 49 women and intended to make it "an even 50."

He apparently fed the pigs using his victims. Sick.
I hope he goes out slowly in a whole lot of massive pain. I don’t forgive mass killers... Ever.
That’s way above my pay grade.
Yes he did. I remember the “Criminal Minds” episode about it
He likely got mouthy. That’s usually the weapon of those who are not physically imposing.
Go to prison, keep your mouth shut
And people bought the pig meat when it went to market.
Finish what you start.
Serial killers like to brag about what they did. It’s possible that the attacker had to listen to a lot of it and got fed up. Can’t blame him.
peaceful Canada.....
I figured so because there are other serial killers around that have been so for decades and they don’t have problems.
Robert Pickton became eligible to request parole a few weeks ago. February of 2024. His request had not yet been processed.
It looks to me like the pig got what was coming to him. The inmate made a nice weapon out of a broom stick. It’s too bad he didn’t stick it in the opposite end after sticking it in the pig’s head.
Can’t imagine being one of the female nurses for this animal.
I’m sure that the guy that stabbed him became a hero in that prison. I can only imagine how sickening it must be to see this human garbage every day. Pickton deserves a long and painful death.
He has a certain level of celebrity. Sometimes sociopaths will treat their notoriety like they are a celebrity. Then they get brought down.
The same thing happened with Jarod Fogle. He walked around like a rooster, because he was in newspapers. He was taught a lesson shortly after he got sentenced.
gee, that’s a shame
Convicted of only six murders but he admits to 49. He’s a true monster.
It is rumors that he was a Canadianized version of Epstein, with notable people visiting his farm.
