VICTORIA (NEWS 1130) – Day parole has been extended another six months for Kelly Ellard.
She was convicted of killing 14 year old Reena Virk near Victoria in 1997. Ellard was 15 when she took part in the 1997 beating and drowning of Reena.
Ellard is now 37 and has changed her name to Kerry Sim. She’s been living in a halfway house since November 2017.
The Parole Board of Canada has extended her freedom because she continues to make progress after becoming a mother in 2016, but concerns remain about her ability to stay away from drugs and alcohol and her relationship with the father of her child.
