The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) will review the transfer of killer Paul Bernardo to a medium-security prison, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says.
Bernardo‘s move to a facility in Quebec made headlines last week after the correctional service notified the lawyer representing the families of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, the teenagers who Bernardo kidnapped, tortured and murdered in the early 1990s.
The killer and serial rapist had been serving a life sentence at Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security penitentiary near Kingston, Ont. “I took the opportunity this morning to speak with (Corrections) Commissioner (Anne) Kelly.
I told her that as a former federal prosecutor and as a Canadian, that I was profoundly concerned and again, shocked by this decision.
