A woman convicted of manslaughter in the 2006 death of a St. Albert realtor was denied parole earlier this month, but is now out on statutory release.
According to decision sheet from an Aug. 1 hearing of the Parole Board of Canada, Lisa McKay has had her parole denied and statutory release revoked after going unlawfully at large earlier this year.
However, she was granted statutory release in accordance with legislation on Aug. 15. While the board cannot deny statutory release, it imposed several conditions on her such as abstaining from drugs and alcohol, reporting all intimate relationships to her supervisor and not associating with anyone involved in crime, including the drug subculture.
McKay is currently serving a 27-month sentence for charges relating to her robbing a 16-year-old girl in Edmonton at knifepoint on June 4, 2013. A 36-month sentence was imposed March 11, 2014, less credit for nine months spent in pre-sentence custody.
Earlier this summer, the board revoked her release. She had been released into a treatment program March 22, 2016, but went unlawfully at large on May 9 and didn’t turn herself in until June 24.
This pushed back the completion date of her sentence until Sept. 8, but she was nonetheless entitled for statutory release this week.
The 35-year-old also served a six-year, seven-month sentence for manslaughter after she admitted to the February 2006 killing of St. Albert realtor William Edward Maloney, 63, at his home on Lancaster Crescent.
According to news stories at the time, she said the two had an ongoing relationship for eight years when she was involved in the sex-trade industry. After a night of drinking, taking cocaine and sleeping pills, she said she woke up hallucinating. She stabbed him five times, inflicting a fatal wound to his heart that killed him.
While serving the sentence on the manslaughter charge, McKay had her release revoked twice, but completed her sentence during a third period of statutory release.
