A federal inmate has been accused of first degree murder for the death of the serial killer Robert Pickton last year.
Martin Charest, 52, was accused on July 3 for allegedly attacking Pickton in the Maximum Security Prison of Quebec.
Pickton died at the hospital on May 31, 2024, 12 days after being attacked, but no charges were presented at that time.
A research report published at the beginning of this month revealed that Pickton was assaulted by a inmate partner who broke a broom and pushed her in the face, and a separate report from an independent observer called Charest as a suspect.
Pickton was sentenced in 2007 for six second -degree murder positions, but he was suspected to kill more women in his pig farm in Port Coquitlam, BC
Charest will appear in court on Thursday.
