Now 59, Gregory Williams of Port Alberni was handed a life sentence in Victoria in 1990 for first\u002Ddegree murder and other crimes
A brutal killer who received a life sentence for beating and murdering a woman in 1988, then drugging and killing his wife during a conjugal visit in prison five years later, has been denied full parole.
Williams had a lengthy record of non-violent crimes before the 1988 murder, but the level of savagery he demonstrated during that crime was shocking and a “clear escalation in the severity of your offending,” according to a summary of the parole board decision.Article content A psychological assessment in March of this year showed Williams continues to pose a high risk of violent recidivism, similar to earlier reports.
His years in incarceration, which began when he was 18, were “problematic” and included serious violent incidents, periods in segregation and forced transfers. Though the record is less troublesome in recent years, Williams got into a fight and punched another inmate as recently as March of this year and tested positive for THC last month.
