The Parole Board of Canada says it is now working to allow victims’ families to attend Paul Bernardo’s parole hearing and deliver their victim impact statements in person.

A lawyer representing the families of two teenage girls murdered by notorious killer and serial rapist Paul Bernardo said they had been denied the right to deliver their statements in person at Bernardo’s upcoming parole hearing.
