Robert Pickton, a 68-year-old pig farmer in Vancouver, Canada, was put into prison due to serial murder cases in February 2002. He was accused of killing at least 49 prostitutes and dismembering human meat mixed with pork sold to customers.

The British show, Voice of A Serial Killer broadcast a documentary, disclosing that he not only showed off his past "achievements" in the prison but also claimed he would have killed one more to get 50 people.

At that time, this bloody serial killing shocked Canadian society. Pickton mixed the bodies of the victimized women with pork for sale to customers. And among his customers, there were local police. He started committing crimes in 1999. It was not until the police discovered victim's belongings on his farm in 2002, was he revealed by the police.

A royal Canadian riding undercover dressed up as a prisoner and talked with Pickton. He deliberately said the best way to abandon a body was to throw it into the sea. But Pickton disagreed with his idea and said it's better to shred the body.

"The police use this evidence to catch me, they have the DNA. I had intended to kill another one and get 50 people. But I was too careless and I really wanted to kill one more!" he said.

Pickton is acknowledged as the most cold-blooded serial killer in Canadian history. He picked prostitutes in slum areas and brought them to his farm to have sex. Then he stabbed them alive or kidnapped the victims to inject drugs, but actually, he used antifreeze kill them.

Sweden beats US 6-3 in world junior hockey group finale. Canada tops Finland 7-4

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Lucas Pettersson and Eddie Genborg each scored twice and Sweden beat the United States 6-3 on Wednesday night in the world junior hockey championship to complete group play unbeaten.

Casper Juustovaara opened the scoring in the first period on a deflection, and the Swedes led 5-1 in the second period in the Group A finale. Ivar Stenberg scored in the third, and Love Harenstam made 28 saves.

“We knew it would be hard game,” Swedish forward Milton Gastrin said. “They were better at the start, but we kept it together and took over a bit in the second and scored some goals. We played like a team the whole way, and I think we did that better than they did, which is probably why we won.”

In the quarterfinals Friday, Sweden will face Latvia, and the second-place Americans will play Finland, a 7-4 loser to Canada later Wednesday night in the Group B finale in Minneapolis. Canada will play Slovakia, and Czechia will meet Switzerland.

Chase Reid, Will Zellers and Teddy Stiga scored for the United States. Brady Knowling stopped 23 shots in his tournament debut before giving way to Nick Kempf. The Americans lost for the first time in four games in the tournament.

“They’re a pretty good team and we didn’t play our best,” Reid said. “We’ll see them again, and we’ll get them back. I feel like we can play the same way, but we didn’t bring our best game tonight. We took a lot of undisciplined penalties that we didn’t need to take, but it’s a learning lesson and we’ll come back stronger.”

In the late game at the University of Minnesota, Cole Beaudoin had two goals and an assist for Canada.

“You watch this tournament, and you watch this game specifically on New Year’s Eve with your family, so means a lot,” Beaudoin said.

Brady Martin also scored twice, and Zayne Parekh had a goal and two assists. The 19-year-old Parekh has appeared in 12 games for the Calgary Flames.

Earlier, Switzerland beat Slovakia 3-2 to finish third in Group A, and Chechia topped Latvia 4-2 in Group B for its third straight win since an opening loss to Canada.
