A review into the federal corrections service’s decision to move convicted killer and serial rapist Paul Bernardo to a medium-security prisonIn a statement issued to CTV Power Play, the Correctional Service of Canada said the three-person committee has started its work and is expected to complete its review “within a few weeks.”“We know that Canadians want to know the reasons for this offender’s transfer.
Bernardo, 58, has been serving the last 10 years of his life sentence at the maximum-security Millhaven Institution near Kingston, Ont. Bernardo was convicted in 1995 for the kidnapping, torture and murders of 15-year-old Kristen French in 1991 and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in 1992. He was also convicted of manslaughter in the death of Tammy Homolka, who died after being drugged and sexually assaulted, and has admitted to sexually assaulting 14 other women.
A day later, Ford called on Anne Kelly, the federal corrections commissioner, to resign following the controversial decision.
