A man who sexually assaulted and murdered a Maple Ridge woman as a teenager has been granted a 60-day unescorted absence to attend a day program on Vancouver Island.
The sentencing judge noted Vojkovic’s “methodical and deliberate actions” and the “terror and agony” Findlay suffered, while recognizing he spared her family a trial by pleading guilty, the parole board wrote in its decision to grant a temporary unescorted absence. In June 2022, Vojkovic was granted day parole, which was suspended five months later and revoked in January 2023 because he breached his conditions by drinking alcohol and spending time with people who were using substances.
Vojkovic started having regular escorted absences in 2022 to visit his father’s home and join in cultural activities with an elder.
