Farmer who fed his victims’ remains to pigs sentenced

A CANADIAN pig farmer convicted of killing six women and butchering their bodies like his animals has received a life sentence with no chance of parole for at least 25 years.

Robert “Willie” Pickton was convicted on Sunday of second-degree murder of six women and received a life sentence, though he could have been eligible for parole in as little as 10 years.

After hearing statements from the families of the victims, Judge James Williams sentenced Pickton, 58, and said he would not be eligible for parole for a minimum of 25 years.
