One of two people convicted in the murder of an eight-year-old Woodstock girl is now serving her life sentence at a minimum security healing lodge.
Terri-Lynne McClintic, who pleaded guilty in 2010 to the kidnapping, rape, and killing of Tori Stafford, has been transferred from a prison in Kitchener to a healing lodge in Saskatchewan.
She was at the Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, where she also pleaded guilty to assaulting another inmate in 2012.
Rodney Stafford, Tori’s father, learned recently about the transfer to a center which focuses on healing residents through indigenous traditions.
Correctional Services has not commented on the transfer which is said to have taken place several months ago.
However, a Corrections Canada source tells CBC News that McClintic is serving an “indeterminate life sentence” and won’t be eligible for parole until May 19th, 2031.
On November 2nd, a protest is planned for Parliament Hill in Ottawa to call for tougher penalties for those who are found guilty of murdering children and other vulnerable people.
