More than 16 years after Robert Pickton was convicted of killing six women in British Columbia, a legal battle is being waged over evidence seized during the investigation.
Pickton, who was a pig farmer, was found guilty in 2007 on six counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of women who disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. He was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 25 years.
More than a decade later, Global News has learned the RCMP received permission by the courts to destroy three freezers full of meat products and other items. They say the freezers lost power and did not contain human remains.
But as Rumina Day reports, advocates are demanding to know what proof the RCMP has that the items in the freezers no longer have evidentiary value.

Sadly, I'm not surprised.
Ridiculous
How is it possible that a SERIAL KILLER can be charged with MANSLAUGHTER. the DEFINITION OF serial killer is self explanatory ( "PREMEDITATED/ SERIAL KILLER")
LET ALONE COMING UP FOR PAROLE.
it only proves systematic racism in the system. If it were white woman murdered I'm sure this wouldn't be happening.
The RCMP cant even arrest trudeau they cant even keep up the maimtenance in their department
Uhm the freezer wasn’t plugged in🙄. Sounds like CanaDUH
Why? What difference does it make? Nothing is gonna bring their loved ones back.
How can this man be eligible for parole after 17 years when the judge at his conviction said he was not to be eligible for parole for 25 YEARS???
sounds like something trudeau would get the gestapo to do
Day parole?! This should never be a possibility for a serial killer, our justice system is there only for the criminals…shameful!
RCMP HAVE BECOME A JOKE! I REPORTED THAT SOMEONE THREATEN TO KILL SOMEONE AND THE GUY CAME BACK AND TRIED, THEY ARRESTED HIM AND RELEASED HIM THE NEXT FRIGGIN DAY!!!!!! NOW THE GUY IS HUNTING THE OLD MAN HE ATTACKED THE POOR 70 YEAR OLD HAS NO ONE TO PROTECT HIM. WHAT A JOKE PROTECT YOURSELVES!!!!!
Just "coincidence" that there was always suspicion of a Trudeau connection to all of this [drugs, sex] and now evidence is 'disappearing'. 🤨🤔🙄😒
This is so wrong, they should be held accountable.
