Murder Most Foul – July 2018

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Robert “Willie” Pickton and his brother David ran a creepy pig-farming operation in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. It became a hang-out place for Vancouver’s Hell’s Angels, sex workers and drug-users after the brothers set up an events operation and non-profit charity, The Piggy Palace Good Times Society. Wild parties followed – but not all the visitors to the farm made it out alive again…

Eventually, the connection was made between the disappearance of Vancouver’s prostitutes, the slaughterhouse at the farm, and the despicable Willie Pickton, who would be revealed as Canada’s worst-ever serial killer. Read the full horrifying story in “Horror On The Pig Farm” in this issue.

The international flavour of this edition of Murder Most Foul continues with dark tales from Australia (“Australia’s Bucket List Killers”); the Netherlands (“Crime Thriller – Or Murder Confession?”); Sweden (“Johanna Told Her Lover: ‘Kill My Parents’”’); and the US (“Vile Pair Videoed Their Victims’ Murder”; “The Killer King Of Western Swin”; and “Shoe Fetish Led To Murder Frenzy”). And we also, of course, have a wealth of 20th-century British cases to thrill and intrigue.
