millbank Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Charged with killing 49 women Prosecutor reveals ghastly details of what was found on B.C. pig farm NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.–The details ooze and congeal – like blood. What for five years has been hidden from public view began to emerge here yesterday, in all its ghastly particulars. Six murder victims, precious little of them left behind to whisper of their deaths – bone fragments, severed heads, the stumps of hands and feet, a clutch of recognizable personal possessions – all of whom came to their grisly end in the ramshackle buildings and derelict caravans scattered about a Port Coquitlam pig farm. So distressing was even the thumbnail sketch of these crimes, as outlined in the Crown's opening statement, that two victims' relatives fled from Courtroom 102, one in tears and the other cursing under his breath. "I'm going to be sick," the relative of yet another hissed as she bolted for the ladies' room at the break. They'd waited so long for answers and now they couldn't take the truth. Robert "Willie" Pickton, charged with six counts of first-degree murder, reacted to none of it. Head cocked slightly to the right, one long leg crossed over the other, he seemed to twist his body away from the judicial spectacle as it began to unfold in what looms as the most sensational and complex trial in Canadian history, likely to last a year. -scary

Marv's Neighbor Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I was living in Seattle when this story was new. I can't believe it's taken 5 years to bring this animal to trial.
