Pig Farmer: "Do I Look Like A Murderer?"

Jurors Watch Videotaped Interviews In Trial Of Canadian Man Accused Of Killing 26 Women

(AP)  Jurors in the murder trial of a pig farmer accused of killing 26 women watched videotaped interviews Wednesday in which he denies knowing the victims and asks a police officer: "Do I look like a murderer?"

Slumped in his chair, often with his head in his hands, Robert William Pickton tells Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Bill Fordy that despite DNA evidence against him, "that don't mean I did it."

Prosecutors have said Pickton told an undercover officer planted in his jail cell that he killed 49 women and intended to make it "an even 50."

Pickton, 56, has been charged with 26 counts of first-degree murder. Most of the victims were prostitutes and drug addicts who vanished from a drug-ridden Vancouver neighborhood in the 1990s.

Pickton is accused of luring women to his pig farm outside Vancouver, where investigators say he threw drunken raves with prostitutes and drugs. After his arrest in February 2002, health officials issued a tainted meat advisory to neighbors who may have bought pork from his farm, concerned that it may have contained human remains.

Pickton has pleaded not guilty to the first six counts of murder. A separate trial will be held for the other 20.

When the trial began Monday, prosecutors laid out some of the gruesome evidence against Pickton, including skulls and teeth of women found in the freezer, slaughterhouse and troughs at Pickton's farm.

The first trial covers the murders of Sereena Abotsway, Mona Wilson, Andrea Joesbury, Brenda Wolfe, Georgina Papin and Marnie Frey.

Fordy is seen in the videotaped interviews telling Pickton a "huge amount" of blood was in his trailer on the farm.

"That's human blood, lots of it," Fordy says. "That's Mona Wilson's blood. This is where she'd been dumped. There's DNA all over the place; it's on the floors, it's on the walls."

"But that don't mean I did it," Pickton said.

Pickton's lawyer, Peter Ritchie, has said his client did not kill or participate in the murders of the six women.

When police first visited the farm in 2002 to investigate, they found two skulls in a bucket inside a freezer in Pickton's mobile home. DNA testing identified the skulls as belonging to Abotsway and Joesbury, two missing sex workers.

Prosecutors said one of Joesbury's earrings was found in the slaughterhouse, human bones were found mixed with manure and part of Wolfe's jaw, with five teeth still attached, was found in a pig trough.

A Royal Canadian task force says more than 60 women remain on a list of missing women, as well as three unidentified DNA profiles from the Pickton farm.

dmotte...the space bar on your keyboard? I'm surprised someone with a MASTERS DEGREE can't seem to find it.

Do you look like a murderer?

Ummmm hell yeah you do. You like like a *** freak.

This case is a good example of why a death
penalty should be on the books.When there is
no doubt of the guilt, and multiple murdered victims, the person who has done this no longer
deserves to remain among the living.I have no
desire to torture the person but I am in favor of
a swift execution in a professional manner.Whatever a victim did for a living does not in the least limit the protection under the
law which they should be entitled to.I doubt if the number if victims would had been nearly as
high if they would had lived in Beverly Hills.
I feel sorry for all their relatives and friends.
Of course everyone deserves a fair trial but if
the news reports are close to accurate it seems certain that he is both guilty and be convicted.

If he didn't do it, how does he know who's blood is on the floor? Sick ***! I pray that Canada gives him what should be coming.

Now, I also must ask, "Why must everything become a personal attack in these comments against a political affiliation, or the current president?"

Stick to the story and stick to the facts. Place your political comments where they belong. Oh, and grow up!

Re: "Do I Look Like A Murderer?"

Classic! The GOP should see about getting this guy as their '08 campaign manager!

[duffyn]

dmoote - your comments represent the worst I have ever seen here. So you think it's okay to murder prostitutes? I honestly think you to be lower then any prostitute could ever be. You sound like somebody that is gonna end up in jail with bubba for your cell mate. I sure hope law enforcement is keep'n a sharp eye on you and you lose your guns soon.

[johnshaft4]

Yes, YOU DO like a murderer you ugly pig. You could have been the poster child for the movie "Deliverance". It is refreshing to know that you neocons have infested Canada as well as the US. Squeal like a pig when you are executed (with extreme prejudice) you mysnomgamist piece of s**t...

"do I look like a murderer?"

What does a murderer LOOK like??? does someone have to have a specific LOOK to kill?

That he murders animals as a "pig farmer" and then turns to women and murders 49 of them that that we know of does not surprise me in the least. Experts say that those who kill people get their start or "practice" if you will abusing, torturing or killing animals,and this pig "farmer" had plenty of practice brutally killing animals.

I think I've seen this guy somewhere before...
Maybe in Resident Evil? Either that or he was a pirate in a horror movie...

[ncolsens]

Do I look like a murderer?"

Hell yes he does.......

[mildkitty_11]

I find it quite disturbing that it took how many womens'lives before finding this guy. I think people who commit murder as an act of power should be sentenced to a cruel and unsual punishment. I guess that is my first thought, I do understand people like this are deeply disturbed, but know so are these womens families. So what would be the right punishment I am not quite sure!!!
