In June 2010, Corey Barry stabbed Justin Wendland, a 15-year-old Victoria High School student, in the heart and the chest at a bus stop on Douglas Street, then ran to the police station and confessed.
A man serving a life sentence for the murder of a Victoria teen told the Parole Board of Canada that he started hearing voices again last month.
“I was stressed out about the situation with the victims. They were trying to take away the Lower Mainland from me,” said Barry. “That stressed me out. It made me go backward.”“And it’s helped. The voices are gone now.” At the time, Barry was homeless and battling addictions to heroin and crystal meth. On the day of the murder, he tried “bath salts” — a very intense stimulant — for the first time. He told the parole board he had just been beaten up by a group of men.
“He is aware he needs to maintain his sobriety, manage his emotions and comply with his medication to manage his risk,” she said. When pressed on why he wants to attend church in Vancouver, he replied: “I want a chance to getting my freedom back.”“I agree with them, but everybody has their time,” Barry replied.
