Parole Decision

Kamloops man who killed pregnant girlfriend 24 years ago granted day parole

100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — A former Kamloops man imprisoned after he admitted to killing his pregnant girlfriend has been granted day parole for six months.

Trent Larsen was arrested in September 2019 — nearly 20 years after killing 27-year-old Angel Fehr.

The woman had threatened to report Larsen’s involvement in a marijuana grow operation, leading to a fight in which Larsen strangled Fehr to death with a lamp’s electrical cord. He then put her body in a barrel and buried it on a friend’s rural property near 100 Mile House.

Larsen was arrested after an undercover RCMP investigation revealed his part in Fehr’s death and disappearance. Two years later, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and committing an indignity to a dead body, and was sentenced to more than eight years, five months in prison.

Larsen’s application for day parole came before the Parole Board of Canada earlier this year.

In rendering its decision, the board took Larsen’s personal growth and insights into account, as well as his release plan. The man, who is now in his late 50s, told the board he plans to find work and spend time with ailing family members. The board noted Larsen, himself, is suffering from health problems.
