Report Confirms Robert Pickton Murdered Inmate Quebec Prison

News summary

Robert Pickton, a convicted Canadian serial killer serving a life sentence, was fatally assaulted by another inmate at the Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec on May 19, 2024. The attacker initially assaulted Pickton during medication distribution before breaking a broom handle and stabbing him in the face. Despite correctional officers intervening and transferring Pickton to a hospital, he died 12 days later on May 31, 2024. An official investigation by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) found that inmates had unrestricted access to cleaning supplies, which were used as weapons in the attack. The investigation resulted in three key recommendations: securing storage areas for cleaning tools, improving communication resources for correctional officers, and enhancing procedures for notifying inmates' next of kin. These measures aim to prevent similar incidents and improve inmate safety and administrative protocols within Canadian correctional facilities.
