Family of Indigenous woman killed in hate-fuelled attack angry they weren’t notified of killer’s parole

The family of Barbara Kentner, an Indigenous woman killed in a hate-fueled attack in 2017, is expressing anger over the Parole Board of Canada's decision to grant full parole to Brayden Bushby, the perpetrator, without informing them. The Kentner siblings, Connie and Melissa, along with Indigenous leaders, gathered at Parliament Hill to demand transparency and a review of the parole board's decision. They argue that the family and community were not consulted during the parole process despite having registered for notifications. The parole board stated that Bushby posed no undue risk to the public, but the family feels unsafe with him now free. The incident involved Bushby hurling a trailer hitch at Barbara and Melissa while intoxicated, leading to Barbara's death.
