Serial Killing Suspect Faces 4 More Charges
From Times Wire Reports
Police filed four more first-degree murder charges against Robert Pickton in the disappearances of Vancouver women, bringing the total to 15.
All of the victims were among 63 women, mostly drug addicts and prostitutes, whom police list as missing in the last two decades from the city’s seedy downtown eastside.
Pickton, 52, said nothing during a court appearance by video link from the jail where he is being held. Police say some charges are based on DNA material found at a pig farm he owns with his siblings.
