Police found remains of five of the 15 women Robert Pickton is accused of killing in their search of his Vancouver pig farm, a defense lawyer said.
Lawyer Marilyn Sandford provided some of the first public details of the case against Pickton, 53, who faces 15 first-degree murder charges.
A painstaking search of the pig farm and a nearby plot where Pickton and his brother ran a party house known as Piggy’s Palace has yielded remains and DNA evidence in what police call the biggest serial killer investigation in Canadian history.
