Killer of Anne Widholm eligible for parole in 13 years, possibly less.

“Windsor man sentenced to life in prison for killing of Sara Anne Widholm on Ganatchio Trail,” read the headline on the February 4 CBC report, but there was a problem. The “Windsor man” would not be spending his life in prison, and it wasn’t even close.
Last Thursday, justice Bruce Thomas told the court Habibullah Ahmadi would be eligible for parole after 13 years. That fell short of what the prosecution wanted and a full 12 years less than the maximum of 25 years. If the murderer gains credit for time served, Habibullah Ahmadi could be out in 10 years, the minimum required by law, for one of the most brutal murderers in Canadian history.
