The mother of two children murdered by their father says she is not ready to face the man who killed them, but plans to do so later this month when he appears before the Parole Board of Canada.

Isabelle Gaston, whose children, Olivier and Anne-Sophie, were stabbed to death by her ex-husband, former cardiologist Guy Turcotte, in 2009, announced in an emotional post on social media that she will deliver a victim impact statement at Turcotte’s parole hearing on Sept. 22.
