TORONTO — Teen killer and serial rapist Paul Bernardo is set for a parole hearing today.
Bernardo’s horrific crimes in the 1980s and early 1990s include kidnapping, torturing and killing Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy near St. Catharines, Ont.
The designated dangerous offender has been eligible for full parole for more than three years.
But relatives of his victims are adamant he should never be allowed out of prison.
