Ex-Quebec doctor convicted of killing his children to have parole board hearing
A Quebec man found guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his two children is expected to appear Tuesday before the Parole Board of Canada.
Former Quebec cardiologist Guy Turcotte, convicted of second-degree murder for the stabbing deaths of his two young children in 2009, will appear before the Parole Board of Canada on Tuesday. Turcotte, now 54, was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 17 years after pleading guilty to the 2009 attacks. The now ex-doctor was initially found not criminally responsible for the murders in 2011, but that ruling was reversed on appeal.
The Parole Board of Canada does not publicly disclose decisions on requests for temporary escorted absences, but may announce them orally at the conclusion of the hearing.
