Su Shi wrote, "Huangzhou is good at pork, the price is as low as the soil; the nobles refuse to eat it, and the poor don't know how to cook it." Pork was once a lowly meat that was regarded as a person, but now it is an indispensable meat in people's lives. But there is a kind of pork that no one dares to taste. This kind of pig actually grew up eating human flesh. Who can do such a crazy thing?
The story we tell today really happened at the beginning of the 21st century. The protagonist of the story is a pig farmer. He has a deep affection for the pigs he raises. By raising pigs, he became a millionaire. He is Robert Picton, the notorious murderer in Canada. He originally opened a pig farm near Vancouver, Canada (Port Coquitlam).
Picton inherits its ancestral business and has good business operations. Its pig farm covers an area of 7 hectares. The pork raised is fresh and tender, with good sales. It was once very popular among people. In addition, Picton also recycles cars and lives a good life. But the vicinity of his pig farm was not calm, with women missing in the East District of Vancouver, which began in the late 1980s.
At that time, the East District of Vancouver City was in chaos and was a gathering place for all religions and religions. There were many women and many addicts. The missing women were basically sexual service providers, and no one cared about them. It was not until the number was too large that the local police began to find something wrong: no one saw in life, no corpse was seen in death? In February 2002, someone revealed to the police that Pig Farm owner Picton illegally hid a gun at home.
So, the police came to the door unexpectedly on a rainy night and controlled Picton. Then they conducted a large-scale search of his pig farm. This search made the police stunned: there were not only guns in Picton's pig farm, but also residual human corpses. There was even a plastic bucket containing two heads and some limbs in Picton's refrigerator! Until now, there were clues in the disappearance of women that had been happening in the past, and the police suspected that Picton was the criminal.
Picton did not admit it at first, but the police then found an eyewitness. The witness said that he had seenPicton "secretly work" in his pig farm slaughter room. He originally thought it was just cutting pork, but he didn't expect thatPicton was splitting a woman's body! Because of fear, he did not dare to say it out loud. He did not have the courage to make the matter public until the police came to him.
With the witness, the police dug three feet into the ground in Picton's pig farm, and found the remains and teeth of many people. According to DNA and dental testing, the police confirmed that these were the women who disappeared at the beginning, at least 31; with all the evidence and physical evidence, Picton had to admit that he had killed 49 girls. He originally wanted to get another one to make up 50 integers, but the police found the clue.
In the pig pen, the police also detected the victim's DNA, which shows that Picton should have buried part of it. Before he had time to deal with it, the rest had been fed to the pig! In addition, someone had previously complained that he had a stomachache after eating Picton's pork, so it was a foregone conclusion that Picton fed these bodies to pigs.
The local health department hurriedly reminded nearby residents: Don’t eat pork for the time being! After hearing the official explanation, the residents were shocked. Some even felt nauseous and vomited for a week, vowing not to eat meat again in their lifetime. So why is Picton so cruel? During the interrogation, Picton confessed that his pig farm often "receives" those women and addicts who have secret transactions that they will conduct them quietly here.
At first, Picton was happy to make extra money, but one time a woman started to yell and abuse the pigs raised by Picton. This made him furious and picked up a gun and killed her. Then, he looked at the pigs waiting to be fed, and a terrible thought came to his mind: If she got into the pig's belly and was digested, who could find traces?
Although Picton has pleaded guilty, the lawyer who defended him believes that although Picton's pig farm does have a large number of remains of victims, it does not prove that Picton is the murderer.In 2007, Picton was officially convicted. According to information disclosed by the media in 2018, Picton's sentence was 25 years. This sentence caused public opinion to be excited: Is such a demon still necessary for fixed-term imprisonment?
