A dozen mayors from around Metro Vancouver say federal Attorney General and Justice Minister Arif Virani should deny parole for notorious B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton, and reassess the parole and sentencing system for “prolific offenders and mass murderers.”

Delta Mayor George Harvie and 11 other municipal leaders say in a letter sent on April 24 to Mr. Virani that allowing Mr. Pickton to apply for parole would “undermine the integrity of our justice system.”
