serial killer Robert Pickton is in a medically induced coma and on life support, four days after he was attacked by another inmate in prison. The killer is still in critical condition, Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson Hughes Beaulieu confirmed with CBC News on Thursday morning. Canada's Public Safety Minister Dominic Leblanc also confirmed a probe into the circumstances of the attack earlier this week. The sister of one of Pickton's victims told CBC News that she felt relieved and happy when she heard that the serial killer had been attacked in prison. I said, 'Good for him, he deserved it,' Tammy Lynn Papin, sister of Georgina Papin, said on Tuesday.
