MONTREAL – Correctional Service Canada is confirming that B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton was the inmate injured in a major assault Sunday at a Quebec prison.
Quebec provincial police say the 74-year-old Pickton was taken to hospital with injuries that are considered life-threatening.
The correctional service says the assault at the maximum security Port-Cartier Institution on Quebec’s north shore did not involve any of its staff.
More coming.
