Notorious killer and rapist Paul Bernardo has been denied parole for a third time after the families of his victims made an emotional plea to the Parole Board of Canada on Tuesday to keep him behind bars.
The parole board noted that while Bernardo has made some progress, there is still significant concern about his risk of sexual recidivism, his narcissistic personality and the results of his clinical assessments, among other issues.
