The Parole Board of Canada says Darren Gowen — formerly known as Darren Huenemann — now has a low to moderate risk of violently reoffending.
Darren Gowen — formerly known as Darren Huenemann — who arranged for his Mount Douglas Secondary School classmates to kill his mother and grandmother in 1990 in an effort to get a $4-million inheritance has been granted a six-month extension of day parole.Gowen, who was 18 at the time of the killings, orchestrated the murders of his 47-year-old mother, Sharon Huenemann, and 69-year-old grandmother, Doris Leatherbarrow, at Leatherbarrow’s home in Tsawwassen.
A 2017 psychiatric assessment showed “positive impressions pertaining to your accountability and emotional/psychiatric domains,” the decision said, with his psychiatrist saying Gowen had made “significant progress” over the years. “Over the last decades, you have clearly done a lot of work on yourself, which has allowed you to approach your reality, but especially that of others, in a more sensitive and open manner.”
At the time, he was in a minimum-security facility in Quebec. He was initially allowed one two-day unescorted temporary absence a month.
