Nine years after he killed and mutilated his Calgary landlord, Dean Victor Gosse has been granted full release.

Last month, the Parole Board of Canada gave the green light for Gosse, 46, to leave a halfway house where he had been subject to a nighttime curfew since May 2015.

But the board won’t release information on where Gosse is expected to settle, saying doing so could “jeopardize the safety of any person” and “adversely affect the reintegration of the offender in the society.”

However, the parole board indicated he wants to live with or near his mother and take a training course.

It was previously reported Gosse hoped to reside with his mother in rural Newfoundland out of fear he’d be murdered if he lived in a less obscure locale.

In its reasons for decision, the parole board said Gosse’s behaviour in the past few years has been “positive,” and that its statistics show two of three similar offenders won’t commit an indictable offence within three years of release.
