Convicted killer Kelly Ellard, seen here in 2000, refused for years while in custody to accept responsibility and show remorse for the murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk.

Nearly three decades after holding Reena Virk's head under water until the 14-year-old drowned, the woman convicted of murder in the case reportedly feels the crime is so "horrendous" that basing a TV series on it could traumatize Virk's family.Kelly Ellard, now known as Kelly Sim, is seen here in 2000. The 41-year-old is serving a life sentence for second-degree murder in the 1997 killing of Reena Virk.

Sim — who has had a troubled history before the parole board — has long stood in stark contrast to Glowatski, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 but sought forgiveness from Virk's parents, meeting with them to express his remorse. The parole documents say Sim is considered a "high-moderate risk for future violence over the long term and a relatively low risk over the short term. Your risk would be on the higher end should you abuse substances or associate with negative individuals."The judge who sentenced Sim in 2005 seemed to presage the problems that have followed her to this day.

"The victim's family have also conveyed that your ongoing issues with non-compliance continue to cause the family stress and anxiety as they cannot escape the media coverage," the decision says.
