“I turned into a monster over the years,” Charles Gagne told a recent parole hearing, describing his remorse over the contract killings of boxer Eddie Melo and his friend Jaoa (Johnny) Pavao. “Those were my choices. I’m deeply saddened by what I’ve done.”
“I’m terrified right now and I have every reason to be,” Melissa Gagne said in one of several recent interviews.
The Quebec native said their relationship made him a gentler, more sensitive man and he wanted to help her run her business — a dating site for inmates where they met. “I turned into a monster over the years,” he said. “Those were my choices. I’m deeply saddened by what I’ve done.” Clients have included Matt Johnston, whose dating profile says he loves to play and watch hockey, is loyal and looking for a special girl with whom to share his love and strength. Johnston murdered two innocent men and four rival gang members in B.C. gang warfare.
Melissa said her marriage went downhill after she told Gagne his release plan wasn’t structured enough. She said she told him that it was wrong for him to agree to parole at a halfway house that was close to gyms where Melo used to train. Court heard that Melo was sometimes a driver for Montreal mobster Frank Cotroni, a boxing fan who sometimes visited the GTA.
