A man convicted of murdering his three sisters and another woman more than 17 years ago is set to have a parole hearing today.
It wasn’t immediately clear what type of release Hamed Shafia is seeking from the Parole Board of Canada.
Shafia and his parents were found guilty in January 2012 of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his teenage sisters and his father’s first wife in a polygamous marriage.
The four bodies were found in a car at the bottom of the Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ont., in June 2009.
