BC serial killer Robert Pickton has been hospitalized after being attacked in an assault at a Quebec prison on Sunday.
Correctional Services Canada (CSC) confirmed to Daily Hive that Pickton was involved in a “major” assault on May 19 at the Port-Cartier Institution, a maximum-security federal prison.
CSC added that the attack did not involve any of its staff.
“We are not able to disclose any additional details, including medical information. The safety and security of institutions is paramount and an investigation into what occurred is currently underway,” added CSC in its statement.
A previous news release noted that the victim of the attack was transported to hospital to receive treatment.
Quebec Provincial Police is currently investigating the incident.
Pickton was convicted of second-degree murder in the deaths of six women in 2007, though he was charged with killing 26 women in total. He was sentenced to life in prison.
