Notorious killer and rapist Paul Bernardo has been denied parole for a third time after the families of his victims made an emotional plea to the Parole Board of Canada on Tuesday to keep him behind bars.

The parole board noted that while Bernardo has made some strides during incarceration, there is still significant concern about his risk of sexual recidivism, his narcissistic personality and his 香蕉视频直播渙verestimation香蕉视频直播� of his progress, among other issues.

The board, which deliberated for approximately 30 minutes after Tuesday香蕉视频直播檚 hearing, said its decision also considered the 香蕉视频直播渆xtremely violent香蕉视频直播� nature of Bernardo香蕉视频直播檚 crimes.

Bernardo, who is designated a dangerous offender, is serving an indeterminate life sentence for the kidnapping, sexual assault and murder of 15-year-old Kristen French and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s near St. Catharines, Ont.

The 60-year-old told the board he was primarily seeking day parole at a halfway house, or at a minimum, escorted absences from prison so that he can attend a community program for sex offenders. The board denied both.

The victims香蕉视频直播� families made an impassioned case against Bernardo香蕉视频直播檚 bid for release, and said they have been re-traumatized every time his parole hearings come up.

香蕉视频直播淭he biggest destruction of the peace and joy and hope in my life has been and remains Bernardo,香蕉视频直播� Leslie香蕉视频直播檚 mother, Debbie Mahaffy, told the parole board hearing at the La Macaza Institution in Quebec, where Bernardo is currently held.

香蕉视频直播淚 remain hopeful that you understand the sadistic, manipulative and psychopathic nature of Bernardo香蕉视频直播檚 behaviour and the endless threat he represents to public safety,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Mahaffy, who spoke of her struggle to forget 香蕉视频直播渢he horrors of Leslie香蕉视频直播檚 death,香蕉视频直播� was overcome by emotion as she delivered her victim impact statement.

Tim Danson, the lawyer representing the French and Mahaffy families, finished reading the statement on her behalf, urging the board to deny Bernardo any type of release due to the heinousness of his crimes and his lack of remorse.

Bernardo was also convicted of manslaughter in the December 1990 death of his then-wife Karla Homolka香蕉视频直播檚 15-year-old sister, Tammy. He ultimately admitted to raping other girls and women, beginning in the late 1980s.

Kristen香蕉视频直播檚 mother, Donna French, who delivered her victim impact statement remotely, spoke of the 香蕉视频直播渟enseless and brutal香蕉视频直播� loss her family has endured for decades.

香蕉视频直播淚t has been more than 32 years since my daughter, Kristen, was abducted, sexually assaulted, beaten to within an inch of her young life, tormented, humiliated and murdered, then dumped by the side of a road like a piece of trash,香蕉视频直播� she said.

香蕉视频直播淭hey say that time heals but I don香蕉视频直播檛 for a minute believe that, for I have not healed.香蕉视频直播�

Danson had previously said that because the parole board initially denied his clients the right to attend Bernardo香蕉视频直播檚 hearing in person, a last-minute reversal of that decision meant that Donna French was unable to travel to Quebec on Tuesday.

The parole board also heard, via video conference, from other members of the French family and Leslie香蕉视频直播檚 brother Ryan Mahaffy.

Mahaffy, who was seven years old at the time of his sister香蕉视频直播檚 murder, said Bernardo didn香蕉视频直播檛 just steal his 香蕉视频直播渕entor and best friend香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播� he also stole his parents.

香蕉视频直播淎s a child, I lost one of the largest parts of my world and to my mother and father香蕉视频直播檚 own grief, I lost them,香蕉视频直播� said Mahaffy, whose gut-wrenching victim impact statement prompted a brief pause in the hearing.

He told the board that the 香蕉视频直播減erpetual hell Bernardo bestowed upon my family香蕉视频直播� gave him nightmares as a child and left him struggling with interpersonal relationships as an adult.

He said that when he became a father, he and his partner 香蕉视频直播渁gonized香蕉视频直播� over what to name their kids.

香蕉视频直播淲e wanted to honour Leslie by name but couldn香蕉视频直播檛, for fear of what they will find when they or others Googled their names,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淏ernardo香蕉视频直播檚 actions haunt the simplest details of my life, including Father香蕉视频直播檚 Day, the day he murdered her.香蕉视频直播�

Bernardo was transferred to the medium-security La Macaza Institution from a maximum-security Ontario prison last year, in a decision that caused public outcry.

Bernardo香蕉视频直播檚 parole officer told the hearing that he has 香蕉视频直播渁djusted well香蕉视频直播� since his arrival at La Macaza but he is 香蕉视频直播渙verestimating his progress while underestimating the risk he presents.香蕉视频直播�

The board heard that the Correctional Service of Canada did not support releasing Bernardo on parole and believed he hadn香蕉视频直播檛 met all the criteria for escorted or unescorted temporary absences from prison.

Under questioning by the two board members, Bernardo said he believed he was ready to gradually step back into society, get 香蕉视频直播渕ore help香蕉视频直播� and ultimately find employment and a place to live. He said he would stay in Quebec if granted parole and was planning to soon start taking French lessons in prison.

Bernardo suggested that he has gained clarity and introspection since arriving at La Macaza.

He showed no visible emotion as he discussed his crimes and victims at the hearing, but choked up at times as he discussed his mother and the sexual abuse he said she endured in her own life.

He told the parole board that he began committing sexual offences as a way to exact 香蕉视频直播渞evenge香蕉视频直播� for his mother香蕉视频直播檚 suffering, and for the pain he felt after his father rejected him for not being his biological son.

When the parole board questioned how victimizing girls and women could be seen as revenge in his case, Bernardo said he wanted to 香蕉视频直播減ay the world back.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚 became a sexual sadist, there香蕉视频直播檚 no doubt about that,香蕉视频直播� he said, adding that while he has 香蕉视频直播渘o excuse香蕉视频直播� for his crimes, he had adopted a 香蕉视频直播渧ictim stance香蕉视频直播� as a result of his difficult childhood and teenage years.

The parole board pointed out that many people face adversity in their early years but they don香蕉视频直播檛 become sexual offenders and killers.
