Medicine Hat–The Parole Board of Canada has confirmed that 29 year old Jessie Dyck has been granted Day Parole 4 months into his sentence for killing his girlfriend.  

Dyck had posted a recent photo on instagram outside the Calgary Correctional Centre with the caption “graduated con college, good to be out.”

He was sentenced in May to 21 months in jail after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the death of Tanya Campbell Losier.

The two had gotten into a domestic dispute in February of 2016 and police were called out twice to Dyck’s home.  The second time police were called out, they found Campbell Losier unconcious on the floor with injuries to her neck and back.  She died from a brain injury in hospital a couple days later.

According to documents obtained by chatnewstoday.ca, Dyck had asked to be granted full parole but the request was denied.

In it’s decision the board stated, “Mr. Dyck, your violent and criminal actions caused the death of your common-law.  File information indicates that you have had several problematic relationships and your domestic strife is exacerbated by substance abuse, and problems managing your emotions. 

However, file information also indicates that you are remorseful for what you have done and are willing to attend any program/treatment options that will help you address the reasons why you committed your offense.”

Dyck is now residing at a community residential facility and at the time of his release did not have a job.   He is not allowed to drink and must address issues around “alcohol abuse, personal/emotional factors that contribute to anger, and domestic violence.”

The board believes that if Dyck follows his release plan, his reintegration back into society will be facilitated.
