Convicted Canadian serial killer Robert Pickton, who killed over 20 women, has been hospitalized and is in life-threatening condition after an assault at a Quebec prison, authorities said Tuesday.
The 74-year-old was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2007, with the maximum parole ineligibility period of 25 years, after being charged with the murders of 26 women.
The remains or DNA of 33 women, many picked up from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, were found on Pickton's pig farm in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Prosecutors previously said Pickton told an undercover officer planted in his jail cell that he killed 49 women and intended to make it "an even 50."
Vancouver police were criticized for not taking the cases seriously because many of the missing were sex workers or drug users.
The Correctional Service Canada first announced on Monday that an inmate had been sent to hospital after a serious assault at the maximum security Port-Cartier Institution, about 300 miles northeast of Quebec City.

What goes around, comes around.
It’s just a tiny smidge of the justice that butcher deserves.
Why did they wait so long?
Robt. Pickton is living proof of Brick-Top’s admonition that one should: “Never trust a man with a pig farm.”
So I guess he’ll have to wait 6 months for a brain scan...as does the typical Canadian.
Let him die.
Update - He’s now dead.
My grand-ma told me. She said, “There wont be nuthin left”.
I haven’t been able to find that anywhere.
Correction - he’s now in a coma
But it’s doubtful he’ll survive
