The hit man who killed boxer Eddie Melo has won an appeal and will get a new parole hearing due to “unfairness” — so he’ll get another chance to argue the board didn’t properly consider his newly-discovered Indigenous roots when they revoked his release.
It makes Melo’s daughter absolutely furious.
“It’s mind-blowing, just absolutely mind-blowing,” says Jess Melo, from her home in British Columbia. “He just found out from Ancestry.com or something that he’s 1.2% Indigenous so now he’s playing that card so he can play the system some more.”
Charles Gagne, 51, is serving a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 12 years for the mob hit of her beloved dad, the former Canadian middleweight champion who turned enforcer for the Cotroni crime family.
