The Parole Board of Canada is being asked again to consider whether Paul Bernardo — the serial rapist and murderer behind some of the most shocking and grisly killings in modern Canadian history — should be released.

The mothers of two teenage girls who were tortured and murdered by Paul Bernardo made emotional pleas at a Parole Board of Canada hearing Tuesday to keep the notorious killer and rapist behind bars, as he makes his third attempt to secure a release.

Paul Bernardo, serving a life sentence for the murders of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, faced a parole hearing today. The Parole Board of Canada is reviewing his case again, despite previous denials of parole in 2018 and 2021.
