Parole denied – again – for man convicted of 2 historic B.C. killings
The board said he would pose an undue risk to society after citing limited insight, weak accountability and refusal to join rehabilitation programs.
- On Friday, The Parole Board of Canada denied Jagrup Singh Baidwan's latest request for day parole, concluding he would "present an undue risk to society" if released.
- Baidwan, now 55, is serving life sentences for the 26-year-old shooting death of taxi driver Allan Martin-MacDonald and the "random and senseless" killing of 21-year-old film student Kristopher Neeves in White Rock.
- The Correctional Service of Canada recommended denial, citing Baidwan's lack of a "highly structured and comprehensive release plan," though he showed "overall improved behaviour" since 2022 in his medium-security facility.
- In denying the application, the board found "several" considerations detracted from managing his risk, noting Baidwan's refusal to participate in interventions including the Journey to Healing program.
- Parole board officials said Friday that Baidwan must wait at least one year before reapplying for day parole, though he remains eligible to apply for full parole "at any time.
