The man convicted for the 1987 murder of a Moncton teenager has again been denied parole after a request to review his case.
The man convicted for the 1987 murder of a Moncton teenager has again been denied parole after a request to review his case.
At a hearing back in December, the Parole Board of Canada denied Patrice Mailloux’s parole application.
The 69-year-old asked in February to have that decision reviewed.
Mailloux was convicted of killing 16-year-old Laura Davis in November 1987 during a robbery at her family's convenience store in Moncton.
Laura’s sister Brenda Davis told CTV News Monday, she was quite upset after receiving word Mailloux appealed last December’s decision.
“I really thought that they would end up giving him day parole,” Davis said. “So when I saw the phone number on my phone the other day, I was nervous to answer it, I thought for sure she was going to tell me that they had granted him day parole.”
In last week’s decision, that didn’t happen.
Federal cabinet ministers Filomena Tassi, Carla Qualtrough, and Dan Vandal announced Thursday they will not run for re-election. Senior government sources tell CTV News at least one other – Marie-Claude Bibeau – doesn't plan to run again, setting the stage for Justin Trudeau to shuffle his cabinet in the coming weeks.
