Day parole extended for woman who killed Victoria teenager Reena Virk 25 years ago – Today In BC

Kerry Sim, 40, who was formerly known as Kelly Ellard, has been authorized to remain on day parole

www.todayinbc.com

parole was revoked in August last year over drug and alcohol use and indications of violence with the father of her children ...

concern that when she’s faced with multiple stressors it can result in poor decision-making ...

follow psychiatric treatment to address her anxiety and other mental health issues ...

reluctant to move ahead with the steps necessary to find work ...


IMO, her rehabilitation is not sounding all that positive with the above observations and I sure wouldn't consider the board's 2019 opinion of “sustained positive change” to be accurate.

Nearly three decades after she held Reena Virk's head under water until the 14-year-old drowned, the woman convicted of murder in the case reportedly feels the crime is so "horrendous" that basing a TV series on it could traumatize Virk's family.

According to a recent parole board decision, Kerry Sim — who was known as Kelly Ellard at the time of Virk's murder — has expressed "some remorse and victim empathy" while discussing the release of the new Hulu true-crime series Under the Bridge with corrections officials.

Last month, the parole board extended day parole for Sim, who is serving a life-sentence for second-degree murder in the 1997 killing. The decision describes a 41-year-old struggling with children, single-parenting, the high cost of living — and the consequences of her actions.
