Man who killed B.C. family of 6 in 1982 denied parole again
David Ennis, responsible for the 1982 murder of six members of a British Columbia family during a camping trip, has once again been denied parole. The Parole Board of Canada deemed him a risk for violent or sexual reoffending, citing his actions which included watching his victims before shooting them, sexually assaulting the older girl, and setting fire to the vehicle.
Ennis, whose real name is David Shearing, was previously denied parole in 2008, 2012, and 2021. The parole board stated that Ennis chose to "callously and viciously" end the lives of six individuals to fulfill his "sexually deviant fantasies."
