Summary
- Warren Glowatski participated in restorative justice with Reena Virk's parents.
- He was released on parole in 2010 after serving 10 years.
- A 2024 miniseries brought renewed attention to the case.
In 1997, Warren Glowatski was convicted of second-degree murder for his role in the killing of 14-year-old Reena Virk near Saanich, British Columbia. He was sentenced to life in prison and spent a decade incarcerated before being granted full parole in 2010.
During his time in prison, Glowatski engaged in rehabilitation programs and participated in a restorative justice process. This allowed him to apologize directly to Virk's parents, Suman and Manjit, who expressed their pain but eventually offered support for his parole.
Glowatski's journey and Virk's tragic death were recently highlighted in the popular 2024 Hulu miniseries "Under the Bridge." This series brought renewed attention to the case and Glowatski's subsequent life after his release.
