Paul Bernardo transfer: Serial killer to stay in medium-security prison after "sound" review

Notorious serial killer and rapist Paul Bernardo will stay in a medium-security prison as the decision to transfer one of Canada’s most infamous murderers was “sound,” the head of Correctional Service Canada says.

Anne Kelly, commissioner of Correctional Service Canada (CSC), presented the results of a review into the controversial prison transfer Thursday, which found that while CSC followed protocol, it must strengthen how it communicates with victims’ families when moving high-profile criminals.

Bernardo’s transfer to a Quebec medium-security prison in May set off a firestorm across the country and engulfed the Liberal government in controversy.

Bernardo, 58, has been serving a life sentence for the kidnappings, tortures and murders of teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s. He and his then-wife Karla Homolka also killed her younger sister, Tammy Homolka.
