VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A Canadian man who escaped prosecution in a 1997 attempted murder case went on to kill at least six women before he was arrested and convicted, a report said.
Robert Pickton, of Vancouver, British Columbia, was charged with attempted murder of a prostitute in 1997, but the case was not prosecuted because a judge ruled the victim wasn't a credible witness, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Thursday.
