Pig farmer allegedly confessed to killing 49 women
2007-01-23
An accused serial killer allegedly confessed to killing 49 women and intended to murder one more to make it an even 50, a prosecutor told jurors today during opening arguments of his trial. Robert William Pickton, 56, has been charged with 26 counts of first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty to the first six counts in what is expected to be the most macabre and lengthy murder trial in Canadian history.

Hundreds of people began lining up before dawn outside the small courthouse in the Vancouver suburb of New Westminster, vying for the 50 seats in the courtroom to hear opening statements.

A judge warned jurors to expect testimony "as bad as a horror movie" during the trial. Pickton is charged with murdering the women, most of whom vanished from Vancouver's impoverished Downtown Eastside neighborhood in the 1990s.

#5  Marc Lepine = Gamil Gharbi. But I don't think one can make the same association for William Pickton. In the US, the worst serial murder episodes were the Zebra Murders committed by the Nation of Islam adherents. While the official body count was 15 and 4 NoI muslims convicted, the unoffical deaths are in the hundreds and a lot of the NoI murderes got away because of the racially charged atmosphere of the early 1970's that no politician wanted to touch.

#4  According to internet sources, the "Canadians" current leading mass killer was "Marc Lepine," who had 14 murders to his credit. Actually, that killer was a Muslim, who was born as "Gamil Gharbi" to an Algerian salesman who hated women. He changed his name in order to make French Canadians think he was one of them.

Was William Picton converted to Islam? Just a theory, but perhaps he was trying to undo the shame of his family pork business by venting the Quran's murder prescriptions against pork-eating women. The number "50" - (Mohammed) Picton's planned kills - is important to Muslim moon-god worshippers. That was the number of times that Allah demanded prostrating prayer, from the carpet grinders. The number was reduced to 5 times per day after Mohammed made his supposed "night journey" to heaven and hell.

California murderer, Juan Coron (Jon al-Coron?) - 34 body count - might also have been a convert. GWOT rule #1: blame Muslims for everything, until it is proven conclusively that they are blameless.

Far fetched? So was the Theory of Relativity in 1904.

#3  Brick Top: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
Sol: Would someone mind telling me, who are you?
Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

Brick Top: Get your tongue out of my arse there Gary. Dogs do that. You're not a dog are ya Gary?
Gary: No Mr. Poford, I'm not.
Brick Top: Well you got every aspect of a dog. Except loyalty.
[Errol zaps Gary]
Turkish: [Voice over] Brick Top's favorite means of dispatch involves a stun gun, a plastic bag, a roll of tape, and a pack of hungry pigs.
Brick Top: You're a devilish little cunt there Liam. But I got no time for grassers. Feed 'em to the pigs Errol. What the fuck are you two looking at?

-- "Snatch". Great British gangster movie - make it a point to watch it if you haven't already.

#2  Health officials then issued a tainted-meat advisory to neighbors who may have bought pork from the Pickton farm, concerned the meat may have contained human remains.


There goes breakfast.

#1  If convicted on more than 14 charges, Pickton would become the worst serial killer in Canadian history, after Marc Lepine who gunned down 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnic in Montreal in 1989 before shooting himself.

Not to be picky, but Lepine doesn't qualify as a serial killer. He's a mass murderer.
