Kelly Ellard, convicted for the 1997 murder of Reena Virk, has been granted continued day parole by the Parole Board of Canada. Ellard, now 38 years old, is serving a life sentence with no chance of full parole for five years. This news follows a decision from the Board on March 9, 2000, where Ellard was first convicted of second-degree murder in an adult court.
Ellard's case has been subject to three trials, with the latest conviction resulting in prison time. During her imprisonment, Ellard gave birth to two children.
The parole decision has sparked controversy, with some expressing concern about releasing a convicted murderer back into the community. However, the Board's decision is based on Ellard's positive progress and rehabilitation efforts while in prison.
