Convicted rapist and killer Paul Bernardo is telling a parole hearing that he did horrible things in the past.
As he asks for release, Bernardo says he cries every day over the crimes he committed.
He says that at the time, he felt justified in his savage behaviour, but no longer.
He says he had long suffered anxiety and performance issues and his crimes were an attempt to deal with that.
Bernardo is serving a life sentence for the kidnapping, rapes and first-degree murders of two teen girls in the early 1990s.
The designated dangerous offender has been eligible for full parole since February, having served 25 years behind bars.
