US-Backed Operation Ends Reign of Cartel Boss ‘El Mencho’

  A forensic ambulance believed to be transporting the body of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, known as "El Mencho,"leaves the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organised Crime (FEMDO), following a military operation in which a government source said he was killed, in Mexico City, Mexico, February 22, 2026.  Mexico has entered a turbulent new chapter after the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho , one of the country’s most feared cartel leaders.

Notorious Killer Paul Bernardo to Appear Before Parole Board of Canada

 

Paul Bernardo, one of Canada's most infamous serial killers, is scheduled to appear before the Parole Board of Canada today for a hearing. Bernardo, who has been denied parole twice in the past, is serving an indeterminate life sentence for the kidnapping, sexual assault, and murder of 15-year-old Kristen French and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s near St. Catharines, Ontario.

The hearing will take place at the medium-security La Macaza Institution in Quebec, following his controversial transfer from a maximum-security Ontario prison last year. Tim Danson, the lawyer representing the French and Mahaffy families, has expressed frustration over the parole board's initial decision to deny the families the right to deliver their victim impact statements in person. Although the board later reversed this decision, the short notice has made it difficult for the families to arrange travel, resulting in only Mahaffy's mother attending in person while others will deliver their statements remotely.

Bernardo's crimes, which also include the manslaughter of his then-wife Karla Homolka's 15-year-old sister, Tammy, have left a lasting impact on the victims' families and the Canadian public. The parole board's decision today will be closely watched, as it could determine whether Bernardo will remain behind bars or be granted parole.
