Canadian prosecutors are to appeal the second-degree murder convictions of serial killer Robert Pickton.

He was given life last month for the second-degree murder of six Vancouver prostitutes whose bodies he fed to pigs on his farm.

British Columbia's attorney general said the murders were premeditated and Pickton should face the more serious charge of first-degree murder.

Pickton still faces murder charges over the deaths of 20 other women.

Attorney General Wally Oppal said on Monday that he wanted the British Colombia Court of Appeal to order a new trial on all 26 counts of first-degree murder.
