Accused serial killer Robert “Willie” Pickton, told an undercover police officer that he eventually wanted to kill as many as 75 women, a Canadian jury heard recently.

The comment came in a conversation in which Pickton also talked about using a rendering plant to dispose of the bodies of the women that he had already killed, the officer testified, describing a taped conversation the jury was about to hear. Pickton is alleged to have made the comments in a jail cell conversation with the undercover agent shortly after his arrest in 2002. The officer, who cannot be named by court order, said Pickton signaled first with his hands and then words that he had killed 49 women and then wanted to kill one more.

Pickton then later said he planned to pause after the 50 killings but then resume and kill an additional 25. Pickton has been charged with 26 murders although this trial deals with only six.
