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.
HALIFAX Many in the Miramichi would like to forget Allan Legere, but his reign of terror still haunts and torments this usually quiet and serene community to this day. Everyone was fearful frightened of their lives but it was a bad time, a Miramichi resident told CTV Atlantic. Legere was convicted in the 1986 murder of shopkeeper John Glendenning and sentenced to life in prison, but he would later escape custody and went on a killing rampage that took the lives of four people. He killed Annie Flam an elderly store owner Donna and Linda Daughney,and Father James Smith, a Roman Catholic priest.
