Relatives of two of Paul Bernardo's victims say the rapist and murderer should never be set free.
The parents of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy presented impassioned victim-impact statements at Bernardo's second parole hearing today.
The 56-year-old became eligible for parole more than three years ago but was denied release in his first hearing in October 2018.
Donna and Doug French told today's hearing that a persistent and ``evil dark cloud'' continues to haunt their family.
Debbie Mahaffy spoke of the pain of having to relive Bernardo's horrible crimes.
Now 56, Bernardo has been serving a life sentence for kidnapping, torturing and killing Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s in St. Catharines.
The victims' families say his right to a hearing before the Parole Board of Canada every two years is unconscionable, and it should be every five years at least.
