VANCOUVER - Warren Glowatski, who was convicted along with Kelly Ellard of murdering Victoria teen Reena Virk, has been granted full parole.
Members of the National Parole Board say Glowatski does not pose an undue risk to the public.
Virk was 14 when she was swarmed by eight teens, beaten and later drowned under a suburban Victoria bridge on Nov. 14, 1997.
Three girls pleaded guilty and three more were convicted in the beating that preceded the murder, while Glowatski and Ellard were separately convicted of second-degree murder.
Glowatski, who was 17 when Virk was killed, was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for seven years. He was granted day parole in July 2007.
While Ellard has seen convictions overturned, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled last year to restore a guilty verdict against her.
