Parole was revoked twice

Yellowknife (Nov 10/04) - Eli Ulayuk had previously been thrown back in jail twice for "violent and aggressive" behaviour, according to National Parole Board documents.

Ulayuk, 36, spent parts of the last 14 years in prison for manslaughter in the 1998 killing of an Iglulik woman. He was on parole when he was charged with first degree murder in the Oct. 6, 2004, death of Yellowknife parole officer Louise Pargeter, age 34.

According to the documents, Ulayuk was denied parole in 1996, but was granted day parole in June 2000.

Ulayuk's parole was revoked on Dec. 20, 2000 after he admitted to parole officers his girlfriend felt "violated" after a sexual encounter. The woman did not file a complaint with the RCMP.

After entering into a "behavioral contract," Ulayuk resumed day parole on Jan. 2, 2001.

On June 11, 2001, his parole was revoked after officials said Ulayuk grabbed his girlfriend by the collar and in a separate incident, physically restrained her when she tried to leave the room.

"The fact that you have not listened to your girlfriend when she wanted to cease sexual activity and the fact that you have displayed controlling behaviour towards her on at least two occasions is of concern," the report said.

"It is clear your behaviour towards your partner has been unacceptably aggressive and placed her at risk," it continued.

By April 2003, concerns about Ulayuk's behaviour eased and he was once again granted day parole.

"The most recent psychological assessment indicates that you are in a low range for future risk of violence. The report indicates you do not have personality traits associated with ingrained anti-social or manipulative behaviour," said an order transferring him to a half-way house.

Ulayuk's behaviour while on parole was encouraging, according to reports.

He had completed counselling for sex offenders and undergone sexual deviancy testing.

Ulayuk's day release was extended twice before he was granted full parole in June 2004.

His parole was revoked shortly after he was charged in Pargeter's death.
