Internal documents show correctional services commissioner Anne Kelly personally alerted Mendicino’s office three days before the controversial move
Days after Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino shared his outrage on social media over the transfer of notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo to a medium-security prison, the head of Canada’s federal prison system asked the department whether the politician had been told of the move.
Bernardo, known as the “Schoolgirl Killer,” is serving a life sentence for the kidnapping, torture and murders of 15-year-old Kristen French and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s near St. Catharines, Ont. He was also convicted of manslaughter in the December 1990 death of 15-year-old Tammy Homolka, the younger sister of his then-wife, Karla Homolka. Bernardo also ultimately admitted to sexually assaulting 14 other women.
One of the emails released to The Canadian Press shows that Kelly herself reached out to Shawn Tupper and Tricia Geddes, the deputy minister and associate deputy minister of public safety, respectively, three days before the transfer was scheduled to go ahead. The documents show Kelly wrote directly to Mendicino on the afternoon of Sunday, June 4, two days after the minister’s first public statement on the matter.Mendicino responded within 10 minutes: “Yes, we’ll co-ordinate a call.”
