NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia -- The Crown claims Robert``Willie'' Pickton was planning to kill one last woman to reach theeven number of 50 women killed.
As Derrill Prevett laid out the Crown's case against Pickton onday one of the trial in New Westminster, B-C, he said Picktonadmitted to an R-C-M-P officer that he killed 49 women and wasplanning one more murder. Prevett described a horrific crime scene with body parts infreezers, human bones in the pig pen and blood splatters in severallocations. Both the Crown and Pickton's defence agree the women weremurdered.
But Pickton's lawyer, Peter Ritchie, told the jury the defenceposition is clear -- Pickton didn't take part in killing the sixwomen, who vanished from Vancouver's gritty Downtown Eastside. In this trial, the Port Coquitlam pig farmer is accused ofkilling six women and will face another 20 murder charges in a latertrial.
