Calgary man who killed five-year-old grandson gets statutory release
A Calgary man convicted of manslaughter in the death of his five-year-old grandson has been granted statutory release from prison.
The Parole Board of Canada says in a decision that Allan Perdomo Lopez is to have no contact with children.
The now-65-year-old was sentenced in 2019 to nine years after Emilio Perdomo died of a traumatic brain injury.
Five months earlier, the boy had been sent to Canada from Mexico by his mother for a better life.
Court heard the boy was subjected to months of physical abuse, with bruising and scars found all over his body.
The trial heard a recording of the grandfather tearfully praying in Spanish, asking God for forgiveness and saying he "didn't want to kill that child."
Perdomo Lopez was denied day parole and full parole in 2022.
Under law, federal offenders who serve two-thirds of a prison term can get statutory release with supervision in the community for the remainder of their sentence.

Quebec environment ministry fines Northvolt for polluted run-off water
There are concerns among residents about contaminants from Northvolt's South Shore site seeping into the Richelieu River south of Montreal. Concerns arise over Northvolt contaminants seeping into the Richelieu River south of Montreal Quebec's Environment Department has fined Northvolt for allegedly releasing wastewater with high levels of aluminum and chromium at its Montérégie region site. Provincial officials issued the $10,000 penalty in June, saying the wastewater allegedly exceeded legal limits of the metals. The department says the North American branch of the Swedish battery manufacturer had released the run-off water at its site in December. The future of the proposed electric vehicle battery plant on the site is up in the air, after its parent company filed for bankruptcy in Sweden. This is the third time the Quebec ministry has penalized the company. It previously fined Northvolt for allegedly clearing a marsh without authorization and for allegedly failing to install barriers needed to protect a nearby wetland. This report by The Canadian Press was first published August 4, 2025.

A family that was caught in a shootout between Montreal police and an armed suspect last year is suing the police force and the city. Houssam Abdallah and his family members allege the officers acted negligently and recklessly towards them, causing lasting physical and mental impacts. Lawyer Virginie Dufresne-Lemire says Abdallah was shot six times and his son was shot once during a shootout between police and a 26-year-old suspect in August 2024. The lawyer says the suspect allegedly tried to steal Abdallah's vehicle before exchanging gunfire with police in front of the family's home in the Montreal suburb of Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que. The family says Abdallah and his son were left on the ground without medical care for at least an hour and were eventually handcuffed. Quebec's Crown prosecution office announced in June it would not lay charges against Montreal police officers in the case, following an investigation by the province's police watchdog. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 4, 2025.
