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."

Too bad Trudeau didn’t make a visit.
The RCMP has documents on this that they will not release. It have Trudeau’s name on it, because he was teaching drama at the West Point Grey Academy, which is in the vicinity of the farm.

Since there is no death penalty in Canada prison justice is the alternative. He’s not dead but perhaps in some stage of pain and suffering.
He is suspected in over 50 deaths. I hope he dies.
IIRC, he hosted "pig roasts" at his farm, invited huge number of people including members of certain outlaw motorcycle gangs.
