The Supreme Court of Canada has cleared the way for a class-action lawsuit against Air Canada and British Airways to proceed

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man who murdered four people as a teenager and left his two-month-old niece in a room with her dead mother has been granted full parole.

James Ruscitti is serving a life sentence for the 1996 executionstyle slayings of his adoptive parents, his brother’s 17-year-old girlfriend and a boarder who lived in their home near 100 Mile House, in central B.C.

He was 15 and a drug user when he and a 14-year-old accomplice committed the crime. But the Parole Board of Canada said he was sober when he shot the victims, leaving the baby near death.

The board says in its written decision it is concerned the 37year-old is still unclear about what motivated him to kill four people, though it is satisfied he’s struggling to understand his actions. He is considered a moderate risk to reoffend, but the board says the positive aspects of his life include a full-time job as an electrician and plans to live with his girlfriend and her daughter in their townhouse on Vancouver Island.

His parole comes with several conditions, including that he not consume alcohol or non-prescribed drugs, nor have any contact with the victims or anyone in their families, and immediately report all relationships and friendships with females to his parole supervisor.

The board said Oct. 4 a psychiatric assessment from 1996 indicated the offence was directly linked to Ruscitti’s strong antisocial and narcissistic personality.

Ruscitti’s accomplice, Chad Bucknell, has also been granted full parole and had an alcohol restriction on him lifted last year.
