Families of Paul Bernardo's victims demand killer's return to maximum security
CBC A lawyer representing the families of two teenage girls murdered by Paul Bernardo has sent a letter to the head of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) demanding that the serial rapist and killer be returned to a maximum-security prison.
"We urge you to restore public confidence in the correctional system and the administration of justice by rescinding the transfer order," Timothy Danson, counsel for the families of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, wrote in a letter sent to CSC commissioner Anne Kelly on Friday.
"He is Canada's most notorious and dangerous serial killer who must face the full consequences of his sadistic and cowardly acts."
Bernardo was transferred last week from the maximum security Millhaven Institution in Ontario to La Macaza Institution in Quebec,a medium security facilityabout 200 kilometresnorthwest of Montreal. Danson argued in his letter that it "would appear that CSC is trying to assist Mr. Bernardo with his parole eligibility by cascading him through the system."
