The Canadian Parole Board has revoked day parole for Kerry Sim, formerly known as Kelly Ellard, the woman convicted of the 1997 murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk in Victoria, BC. The decision was made due to multiple violations, including positive drug tests for methamphetamine, refusal to provide urine samples, and deteriorating behaviour such as hostility, poor emotional regulation, and defiance towards staff. Despite efforts to demonstrate remorse and engage in some positive behaviours, the board concluded that Sim still exhibits an anti-social and delinquent value system, posing an 'undue risk to society.' Sim, now 42, was initially sentenced as a youth but was tried and convicted as an adult, receiving a life sentence. She has been granted and revoked parole multiple times over the years, with her behaviour in custody and community raising concerns. The decision highlights ongoing issues with her accountability, substance misuse, and behaviour, which the board determined make her current release too risky. This revocation underscores that a life sentence does not guarantee release and that compliance with parole conditions is critical for reintegration.
