Parole board says extension protects society by allowing Darren Gowen (formerly known as Darren Huenemann) to continue his reintegration into society
The Saanich man who arranged for his Mount Douglas Secondary School classmates to murder his mother and grandmother in 1990 for a $4-million inheritance has been granted a six-month extension of day parole.
In 1991, Huenemann was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. Lord and Muir were also sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years. Information in his file revealed that his parents separated when he was very young. Gowen found his mother to be very controlling and felt a lot of pressure from her regarding success and appearance.
A 2020 psychological risk assessment found Gowen at moderate-to-low risk over the medium and long terms to violently reoffend. The psychologist concluded that the murders had been committed when Gowen was approaching adulthood and he had clearly done a lot of work on himself in the past decades. “At the beginning of your day parole, you were reportedly riddled with sadness, guilt and regret, as you felt as though by joining civilization, you had abandoned your home and your friends/family . You still feel this way today, but in a less overwhelming manner. You have also accepted the fact that after all your years of incarceration and hardworld, it is your time to reinvent yourself outside of the walls of an institution,” the board noted.
