McLeod presses government to reverse child killer’s transfer to healing lodge
OTTAWA — The Conservative MP for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo is pressing the Trudeau government to intervene in the case of a convicted child killer who was moved to an Indigenous healing lodge.
Terri-Lynne McClintic was convicted of first degree murder in the 2009 killing of eight year old Victoria Stafford.
She received the maximum sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years, and had been serving time in a medium-security prison.
The opposition Conservatives have been hammering the Trudeau government after it was learned McClintic was moved to a healing lodge in Saskatchewan, saying Trudeau has the power to put her back behind bars.
