NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia -- When a B-C Supreme Courtjudge warned jurors in the Robert ``Willie'' Pickton murder trialthe case might be likened to a horror movie, he wasn't off the mark. Pickton's trial on six of 26 murder counts began yesterday.
Prosecuter Derrill Prevett told Justice James Williams and a juryof 12 the Crown will show Pickton murdered and butchered thesewomen. He said in freezers and a garbage can on Pickton's Port Coquitlampig farm, police found the severed heads of three of the six women. A sex toy affixed to a pistol turned up D-N-A evidence of afourth, and police also recovered jawbones and teeth.
The grisly details sent one relative bolting from the courtroomin tears. In a short statement to the judge and jury, Pickton's lawyer saidhis client had nothing to do with the killings.
