This story is worth reading if only to use as an illustration of the fact that "25 years no parole" does not mean "25 years and out" but rather it means what it says, that is, 25 years before a convict can be considered for parole. And so here 25 years elapsed and parole was sought but denied.
No parole for notorious B.C. camping killer
A man who killed six members of the same B.C. family more than 25 years ago has been denied parole.
David Ennis, known as David Shearing at the time murders, had his first parole hearing Wednesday at the Bowden Institution in central Alberta.
In August 1982, Ennis killed George and Edith Bentley, their daughter Jackie Johnson, son-in-law Bob and grandchildren Janet, 13, and Karen, 11.
...
The investigation eventually led to Shearing, who now goes by his mother's maiden name of Ennis, and he was arrested in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., in November 1983.
Following an intense interrogation, Shearing eventually confessed to shooting the six family members, loading the bodies into the car and setting it on fire.
In April 1984, he pleaded guilty to six counts of second-degree murder and received a sentence of life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 25 years.
