The father of a 15-year-old Dorval girl murdered almost 25 years ago will be testifying at her killer's parole hearing in British Columbia tomorrow to try to keep him in prison.
Michael Manning could have sent in a written victim impact statement to the parole board hearing in B.C.but he wants to be there in person.
"I think it's my responsibility to our society and to Tara to go and speak on her behalf and on behalf of my family and all Canadians to make sure if you let this person out, make sure what you know you're doing," said Manning in an interview with CJAD 800.
"I think it's my responsibility to try and keep him where I believe he belongs."
Gregory Bromby was underaged when he was found guilty of smothering and raping Tara Manning and stabbing her 51 times in May 1994. Ten years later, he confessed to raping three other women.
Bromby has been eligible for full parole since 2005.
He was tried as an adult and got a life sentence, eligible for parole after ten years instead of the usual 25.
Bromby has since been moved to the William Head Institution, a minimum-security penitentiary on Vancouver Island.
Bromby was denied day parole and outings twice before. Five years ago, the parole board said his risk of reoffending was moderate to high.
Manning was there each time to give a victim impact statement on why Bromby shouldn't be released and he wants to make sure Bromby is denied release a third time.
"I'm Tara's dad. And I miss her dearly every day," said Manning.
"So it's not fair."
