Keith Wiens, a retired RCMP officer convicted of murdering his wife in 2011, received approval from the Parole Board of Canada for two unescorted absences from prison. Despite opposition from the victim's family, Wiens, serving a life sentence, will spend the approved days at a community-based facility for re-entry programs aimed at gradual reintegration. He is required to follow his treatment plan, abstain from alcohol, and avoid contact with the victim's family. Wiens remains ineligible for full parole until 2026.
