A national board created jointly by the Parole Board of Canada and Correctional Service of Canada will investigate the circumstances around Myles Sanderson’s release from federal custody.

Sanderson was released from minimum security on statutory release in August 2021, according to parole documents. He had been serving a nearly five-year sentence in federal custody for assault, robbery, mischief and uttering threats.
