A Kelowna woman sentenced to life in prison for the 1998 killing and dismemberment of her husband has been granted day parole.

Ronda Petra Black was given the extra freedom during a Sept. 16 hearing with the Parole Board of Canada, where she was deemed a low to moderate threat to re-offend and was noted for being remorseful for the murder of her husband.

Where Black may become more of a risk, said the parole board, is within the context of a romantic relationship.

As such, her release requires that she immediately report relationships to a parole officer.

She香蕉视频直播檚 also barred from contact with her victim香蕉视频直播檚 family, must provide documented financial information, follow a treatment plan and not associate with people involved with criminal activity.

Black香蕉视频直播檚 release plan includes working, attending church, attending community support meetings and working with pastors.

Black pleaded guilty to the 1998 second degree murder of her husband Keith Black in 2007.

The court found that on July 20, 1998, when her husband went to the basement to have a nap, she stabbed him in the jugular with a hunting knife.

She wrapped the body in a tarp, dragged it upstairs and into her car 香蕉视频直播� while their infant son watched 香蕉视频直播� and drove it to the Alberta community of Exshaw.

A partner in crime proceeded to cut off Keith香蕉视频直播檚 head and hands and they together concealed the body near Canmore. In 1999, a hiker discovered Keith香蕉视频直播檚 skull, although police could not identify it until Black香蕉视频直播檚 partner exposed the location of the remains in June 2003.

The pair were arrested soon after that. Her partner was later convicted of accessory to murder after the fact.

He tried to appeal the conviction, but his application was denied.
