Everything your about to read here in Canada's 10 Most Brutal Serial Killers has all been fully researched and all you read here is the facts. No lies, stretching the truth or making up stories, all these events did take place and stand out to be some of Canada's worst crimes ever committed against other human beings. Like any other country in the world, Canada has its own dark secrets and has produced its fair share of sick serial killers but how many of you have heard about them? Me, well I knew some of the up to date killers but others I found amazed me on how sick people could be and especially from this country. So with that said I would like to share with you 10 of the Most Brutal Serial Killers that have come from Canada. Enjoy.

Robert Pickton

Arrested in 2002 in Vancouver British Columbia, after RCMP served a search warrant at his pig farm for illegal firearms but the investigators found more than they bargained for when they stumbled across human remains in one of the slaughter houses on the farm. In early 2002 police laid their first murder charged on Pickton which eventually lead to the property being excavated and being known as one of Canada's largest crime scene. Robert Pickton has been accused of killing over 50 prostitutes but he only claims he killed 49 because he got caught before he got the chance to do his fiftieth victim. He killed his victims, dismembered them, then gutted them and fed the remains to his pigs from 1983 to 2002 when police finally caught him. As of today Robert Pickton is now in court facing 6 more charges of first degree murder with at least 20 more murder cases pending. All charges are being laid as DNA from the crime scene comes in and gets matched with missing victims. Altogether Robert Pickton has been charged with 26 first degree murder charges. To date this is has also been the largest serial killer investigation in Canadian history.

Clifford Olson

This sick monster was an active serial killer in and all around British Columbia in the 1980's to 1981 until being caught by police. Olson had killed 11 kids that the police knew about, that where all between the ages of 9 years old to as high as 18 years old. After being caught for the one murder Clifford Olson had made a deal with police to confess and show where 10 other children's bodies were buried only if his wife received $100,000, basically $10,000 per body and confession. Clifford at the time of this deal said “The First One Is a Freebie”. The police made the deal so families could have closure about their missing loved ones. In Jan 1982 Olson pleaded guilty to 11 counts of first degree murders and got 11 concurrent life sentences. In 1997 Clifford Olson was eligible for parole but of course was denied.

Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka

Paul and Karla were convicted of killing 3 people one of which was her sister. Their first victim was in 1990, 15 year old Tammy Homolka, which was Karla's baby sister. After one night of drugging and raping and video tapping the young girl she eventually died of choking on her own vomit. Police suspected no foul play at that time. Their second victim was 14 year old Leslie Mahaffy who they kidnapped on her way home from school June 1991. This poor girl was raped and beaten by the pair for over 24 hours before Paul strangled her with an electric cord. After this he dismembered her body and sealed them in concrete which he dumped in a lake. Two days June 29th the concrete had broken and the body parts floated to the surface. Also, the couple were married the day the body parts where discovered. Final victim was 15 year old Kristen French. She was raped, videotaped and beaten also by the pair and finally strangled by Paul with the same electrical cord he used on his previous victim. After that he dumped her body in an illegal garbage dump. After being caught in late 1992 Paul Bernardo got sentenced to life in prison while his ex wife Karla Homolka got only 12 years and is now living in Montreal Ontario as far as I know.

Marc Lepine

On Dec 6, 1989 Marc Lepine walked into Ecole Polytechnique School in Montreal Ontario and headed for the engineering class room. Once there he pulled out a rifle and ordered all men out of the room and all the women to get in the corner. Once the women had gathered in the corner he opened fired shooting all of them. After that he moved about the school constantly shooting at women every time he would see one. He even went as far to stab some of the victims that were shot that were still alive at the time. After 20 minutes he finally sat down and claimed this was all done because he hated feminists groups and this was his own and finally political statement and pressed the gun against his head and fired. He died at the scene. After it was all said and done Marc Lepine had killed 14 women and wounded 13 other men and women.

the pikton case reminds me of something you would see on the tv show "criminal minds". It's hard to believe it is actually a true story and has occurred in my country. Such a sin.

Pikton should rot in hell for what he has done.

I dont understand how Clifford Olson was given 11 concurrent life sentences but then eligible for parole in 1997. I know he didn\'t get parole but how could he have possibly ever even been eligible?!?!
