After a long and emotional day that reopened wounds, a Peachland resident said she香蕉视频直播檚 grateful a murderer was denied release.

Tammy Arishenkoff was a classmate and friend of Janet Johnson, who was killed along with her sister, parents and grandparents in 1982 by David Shearing, now known as David Ennis.

The family was camping near Wells Gray Provincial Park when Ennis came upon them, stalking them before shooting the adults, then sexually assaulting sisters Janet and Karen before killing them.

Ennis put the bodies in the family car and set it on fire.

Now 62, he applied for conditional release but was denied during his hearing on Wednesday (Sept. 15). The Parole Board of Canada said that even though he had made some progress, they deemed that he was still at risk of re-offending should he be granted parole.

Despite the relived mental trauma, Arishenkoff said she and the Johnson-Bentley family香蕉视频直播檚 friends and relatives felt great after the parole board香蕉视频直播檚 decision.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e extremely relieved and happy. It was an emotional day for everybody and we got both day and full parole denied.

Arishenkoff launched a petition asking the parole board to deny Ennis香蕉视频直播 application earlier this year, sending 101,463 signatures to the parole board.

She said going through the grisly details of the case and Ennis香蕉视频直播 history will always be difficult, but she won香蕉视频直播檛 give up the fight to keep him imprisoned, not just for Janet but because she said she doesn香蕉视频直播檛 want anyone else to be hurt by him.
