Robert W. Pickton
Robert W. Pickton, a pig farmer, managed to murder 49 women before his arrest in 2002. Up until Mr. Pickton’s arrest, at least 67 women had disappeared in British Columbia. The victims were mainly members of Canadian aboriginal groups, and most were prostitutes and drug addicts.After a 10-month trial in 2007, Mr Pickton was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. During his interrogation, he confessed to killing 49 women.
When a prostitute confessed to agreeing to Mr. Pickton driving her to his farm for a sex act, and when there noticed signs of other women being there too, before being repeatedly stabbed before she escaped. The police have been faulted on the case, as due to little evidence, her suggestions were ignored.
Shawn Lamb
Serial killer Shawn Cameron Lamb, 54, has been sentenced to 20 years for killing two vulnerable city women. Lamb pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter in connection to the deaths of Carolyn Sinclair and Lorna Blacksmith. Both women had been declared missing by their families around the time they died.
Lamb and Sinclair purchased crack cocaine together and returned to smoke it at his apartment. Sinclair was beaten by Lamb with an axe handle after she took what was left of the drugs and locked herself in the bathroom. In Lamb's statement, he said that "she remained conscious so he proceeded to choke her with his hands until she lost consciousness and died." Her remains weren't found until 3 months later.
Blacksmith also died at Lamb's hands inside his apartment, and also over a drug-related dispute when she grabbed his phone to call her supplier to obtain more crack. He threw her to the floor and choked her with a telephone cord. He did attempt to revive her but couldn't. Her remains were found 6 months later.
Sture Bergwall
Serial killer Sture Bergwall was originally admitted to having 30 victims. However, 23 years after he was locked up, he has confessed to making it all up. Of the 30 murders, including rape, mutilation and even cannibalism, he was convicted of 8. He later said he lied to investigators because he craved attention and was heavily medicated. He claimed 'I wanted to be this interesting person. I didn't want to be this grey bad person. I wanted to be something else.'
Kathleen Folbigg
Australian serial killer Kathleen Folbigg was convicted of murdering her three infant children and manslaughter of a fourth child. Caleb was found not breathing in his cot, and his death was resulted to a cot death.
Patrick died similarly, when Craig Folbigg awakened by the sounds of his wife screaming and found her standing at the baby's cot. He noticed the child wasn't breathing and attempted to revive him and couldn't.
The couple then moved to Thornton in the City of Maitland. Sarah Kathleen Folbigg was born on 14 October 1992, and died on 29 August 1993.
In 1996, the couple moved to Singleton. On 7 August 1997, Laura Elizabeth Folbigg was born. On 27 February 1999, Laura died.
People have given a reason for her murders: in 1968 Folbigg's biological father murdered her mother, stabbing her 24 times. Kathleen was then put into a foster care home, furthermore placing her in a permanent foster home lasting until she was a young adult.
