A man who stabbed his ex-girlfriend and a police officer in Cambridge will soon be on statutory release, but not without some constraints.
Wesley Laforme admitted to the violent 2015 attack at a townhouse complex on Morning Calm Drive, pleading guilty in court to attempted murder and aggravated assault a few months after it happened.
While he’s being released by law, the parole board set out conditions which they say are necessary for the protection of society.
In a written decision from earlier this month, the parole board raised concerns about Laforme’s likelihood to reoffend based on his history, his behaviour while in custody and what happened during a previous statutory release.
Laforme served 10 years behind bars for his actions in the early morning hours of April 30, 2015.
Laforme, then 30, broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home, grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her in the neck, face and shoulder.
