The driver convicted in the death of a West Shore RCMP officer is back on mandatory parole.

Kenneth Jacob Fenton’s statutory parole was cancelled in April, with conditions added to his statutory release, according to a June 15 Parole Board of Canada decision.

New conditions require Fenton to participate in one-on-one counselling with a mental health professional in the field of emotions management and not associate or communicate with anyone involved in criminal activity or substance abuse.
