Murders '49 Women '

The former multimillionaire was sentenced in 2007 to life imprisonment for the murder of six women and he was suspected of 20 more murders but could not be proved that he had done it. In the book Pickton: In His Own Words, he writes that he is tricked by Canadian police.

The man reportedly told an undercover officer that he killed 49 women have around the house of the former pig farmer bodily remains of at least six women were found. According to the BBC , he murdered the women on his farm, and he carried the bodies to his pigs.

After protests from the relatives of the murdered women and users of Amazon, the site decided to remove the book from sale.
