Kerry Sim receives six-month extension of day parole for Reena Virk's murder

Kerry Sim, the woman who killed Reena Virk, has received a six-month extension of her day parole. The Parole Board of Canada noted her stable behavior and parenting responsibilities since she began day parole in 2017. Sim, formerly known as Kelly Ellard, is serving a life sentence for Virk's murder in 1997. The board acknowledged her past issues, including domestic violence allegations, but highlighted her good behavior and increased accountability for her actions. Sim's current conditions include avoiding drugs and alcohol, staying away from criminal associates, and not contacting Virk's family. A psychological assessment from 2016 indicated a moderate risk for future violence, which the board continues to monitor.
