Pig Farmer Is Charged With 3 More Murders
Three additional murder charges were filed against a man already accused of killing two of at least 50 Vancouver women who have disappeared since the early 1980s.
Robert William Pickton 52, has been in custody since his arrest Feb. 22, 2 1/2 weeks after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Vancouver police raided his dilapidated pig farm in the Vancouver, British Columbia, suburb of Port Coquitlam.
Pickton was charged in the killings of Jacqueline McDonnell, Diane Rock and Heather Bottomley. He had already been charged in connection with the deaths of Sereena Abotsway and Mona Wilson.
