Angela Marie MacDougall, executive director of Vancouver-based Battered Women's Support Services, reflected on the weekend assault that left Pickton with what police called life-threatening injuries, saying"There's something to be said about jailhouse justice."
Jason Gratl, the lawyer representing family members of victims in nine lawsuits against the brothers, said the potential death of the killer would have no bearing on proceedings. He bragged to an undercover officer of killing 49 women and the remains or DNA of 33 women, many of them taken from the Downtown Eastside, were found on Pickton’s pig farm in Port Coquitlam, B.C.
In 2014, the botched investigation into Pickton resulted in a settlement of $50,000 for the victims' children who had sued all three levels of government and the RCMP. Items range from pieces of clothing, shoes and hairpins — including one with hair still in it — to a sex toy and a rusty .303-calibre bolt-action rifle.
"Twenty of the charges against Pickton were stayed, and have not yet resulted in any convictions," it said."For the families of those victims, justice has been elusive and they still hold hope that one day they will know what happened to their loved ones."
