KILLED 49 WOMEN AND FED THEM TO MY PIGS

Farmer's confession to undercover cop on murders

By Ryan Parry And Vanessa Allen

A PIG farmer accused of being Canada's worst serial killer confessed to killing 49 women, a court heard yesterday.

Robert Pickton allegedly told an undercover police officer: "I was going to do one more, to make it an even 50."

Pickton, 56, is said to have picked up the women, mostly prostitutes and drug addicts, from Vancouver's red light district.

He is alleged to have taken them back to his remote 17-acre farm, where he butchered them.

He is then said to have put their bodies through an industrial woodchipper and fed their mince to his pigs, some of which were later slaughtered and sold into the human food chain.

Jurors were warned that details of the crimes would be "like a horror movie" and relatives of the victims began to cry as the case was opened.

The court heard that a police interviewer had suggested he was caught because he hadn't cleaned up blood properly. He is said to have replied: "I was going to shut it down. That's when I was just sloppy. Just the last one."

Having just read The Innocent Man 978-0-385-51723-2 (0-385-51723-8) I find that they are using a confession to undercover cop as evidence a bit creepy.
