The father of the little girl from Granby will be released: he will serve the remainder of his sentence in the community, under supervision, indicates the Parole Board of Canada, which is seized of the case, in a copy of the decision rendered on April 29, 2024 obtained by The duty.
At the end of the study of the case, the Commission concludes that the man represents a low risk of recidivism. However, she made the decision to impose special conditions on the offender that she deemed “reasonable and necessary to protect society, the victims and promote [sa] Reintegration. »
It therefore prohibits the man from any direct or indirect contact with the victims, as well as with members of their immediate family. The Commission also imposes geographical restrictions on him, which it considers “necessary for their feeling of security”: the offender will not be able to be in two regions, which are not disclosed in the report sent to the Duty. The offender is therefore prohibited from going to these two regions, except to visit resources known and authorized by the Correctional Service of Canada.
The man may also not be alone in the presence of a child under 16 years of age, except with the authorization of his supervisor.
Due to the offender’s present offenses and his record of “difficulties in [ses] relations with women”, the Commission also requires him to declare to his parole supervisor all relationships, whether friendly or sexual, that he maintains.
The father of the little girl from Granby has been serving, since January 2022, a first federal term of three years and six months for crimes of false imprisonment.
The man, who cannot be named so that the identities of the other children involved in this horrific affair are protected, was imprisoned for having kidnapped his 7-year-old daughter shortly before she died in April 2019. He had pleaded guilty to this charge, but was initially charged with a more serious crime, criminal negligence causing death.
His partner was also found guilty of kidnapping and second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 13 years.
