NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia, July 17 (UPI) -- A witness at the British Columbia trial of a pig farmer accused of killing six prostitutes said Robert Pickton fed the women's body parts to his animals.
Six months into the trial, witness Andrew Bellwood told the court in New Westminster, British Columbia, Pickton re-enacted his deadly encounters and showed Bellwood handcuffs, a belt and wire he allegedly used to strangle his victims, the Globe and Mail reported Tuesday.
Pickton is on trial for the deaths of six women drug-addicted prostitutes and has been charged with the slayings of 20 additional women.
Bellwood said Pickton told him he would take the women to the barn, bleed them, gut them and hang them in the slaughterhouse. He said the accused remarked on how much of the carcass a pig will eat, the report said.
Whatever the pigs did not eat would end up in 45-gallon drums with waste from his pig-slaughtering business, Bellwood said.
Bellwood said he spent six weeks living and working on the farm beginning in February 1999.
