The Monster of the Miramichi will not be released on parole.
The Parole Board of Canada Wednesday refused supervised release for convicted New Brunswick serial killer Allan Legere according to multiple media outlets.
72-year-old Legere is serving a life sentence after he escaped custody in May of 1989 while incarcerated for a previous murder and assault.
The result was a seven month manhunt which saw him terrorize the communities of Miramichi before being apprehended in November 1989.
In that time, he killed four people, including 75-year-old Annie Flam, sisters Donna and Linda Daughney, 45 and 41 respectively, and Rev. James Smith, a 69-year-old Catholic priest.
Legere was convicted of multiple counts of murder, rape and arson, and was handed a life sentence in 1991 with parole eligibility after 25 years. He has been eligible for day parole since 2012, and full parole since 2015.
Legere was one of the first people in Canada to be convicted using DNA evidence.
