Hearing officers of the Parole Board of Canada took about an hour before denying parole to teen killer and serial rapist Paul Bernardo.
The parents of two of his victims recounted the enduring pain of his twisted crimes and warned he should never be released.
Bernardo has been serving a life sentence for kidnapping, torturing and killing Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s near St. Catharines, Ontario.
Their decision came after Bernardo said he was a changed person who now has his sexual deviancy under control.One of the officers told Bernardo that his understanding and insight remain limited.
Maureen Gauci says Bernardo has not shown that the risk of offending can be managed in the community.
