BATH, Ont. — He tried so hard to cry — but it’s not easy when you have to fake it.

Serial rapist and killer Paul Bernardo came before the Parole Board of Canada and tried to convince the two-member panel that after 25 years in solitary, he’s now a changed man — deeply sorry for his heinous crimes.

Thankfully, it didn’t take long for the board to see through the psychopath’s crocodile tears.

For the next two years at least, the sadistic lifer poses an “undue risk” to the public and will remain where he belongs — behind bars.

For someone supposedly so remorseful, dabbing at his eyes after the heart-wrenching victim impact statements delivered by the mothers of the girls he raped, tortured and killed, Bernardo never did attempt to apologize for his reign of terror.

Instead, the 54-year-old spouted a lot of psychobabble he’s obviously picked up during his counselling over the last few years at Millhaven Pen.
