"A Prince Edward Island man, Fred Sheppard, who beat his common-law wife to death in 2000 will be released next month under strict conditions; stay away from alcohol and report all relationships with women.
In 2001, Sheppard pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The charge was reduced from second-degree murder because the court ruled Sheppard was too drunk to know what he was doing.
Sheppard was first granted parole in 2004, but was returned to prison the next year after violating his release conditions by drinking.
In August 2008, the National Parole Board revoked Sheppard's day parole after he was found intoxicated and harassing a woman.
Sheppard was returned to an Alberta prison after police found him harassing a woman in downtown Edmonton in May 2008. Sheppard swore at police and tried to punch one of the officers."
What a story. Only sentenced to 10 years, got paroled after only 4, and continuously violates his parole conditions. Now I suspect that his original 10 year sentence is up and they have to release him, but you got to believe this guy will end up in jail again. He gets released May 20 and it is unknown whether he will return to PEI.
