Notorious Canadian serial killer Robert Pickton, who once bragged about murdering nearly 50 women, met an excruciating and gory end at the hands of a fellow inmate while behind bars.
An investigation into the 2024 death of the 74-year-old murderer found he was bludgeoned and impaled with a broken broomstick.
Pickton had been attacked in the common room of the Port-Cartier Institution, a maximum-security prison in Quebec, on May 19 last year. He died in hospital days later on May 31.
He was serving a life sentence for six counts of second-degree murder over crime spree in the late 1990s and early 2000s, in which he fed female victims to animals on his Vancouver pig farm.
The newly released investigation by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has shed disturbing light on the savage attack and the 'systemic failures' that may have allowed it to happen.
Pickton was suddenly assaulted by another inmate at about 5:16pm while inmates were receiving medication inside the unit's common area, according to the report.
The inmate was allegedly identified as Martin Charest.
Guards quickly rushed in and stopped the attack but just two minutes later, Charest reportedly attacked again, this time with more force.
'The aggressor then grabbed a broomstick, broke the handle, and thrust it into the face of Mr. Pickton,' the CSC report states.

No criminal charges have yet been filed in connection to his death.
The report also exposed troubling security lapses, including the fact that inmates had open access to cleaning tools like brooms and mops, which could be used as deadly weapons.

Pickton became one of Canada's most notorious killers. He was a pig farmer from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, who lured vulnerable women from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to his farm, where he raped, tortured, and butchered them.
Many were Indigenous and living in poverty.
Their remains, or whatever was left of their DNA, were later discovered scattered across the property.
Pickton was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2007, with the maximum parole ineligibility period of 25 years, after being charged with the murders of 26 women.
He was only found guilty of six of the charges with cops claiming it was due to the massive scope and cost of the initial trial, which enraged victims' families and sparked public outcry.
He was found guilty of murdering Sereena Abotsway, Marnie Frey, Andrea Joesbury, Georgina Papin, Mona Wilson and Brenda Ann Wolfe.
A public inquiry later slammed police and government agencies for a 'colossal failure' in responding to the disappearance of marginalized women.
