No parole for dangerous offender who attacked Banff woman, leaving her in vegetative state

Albert Muckle was handed an indefinite sentence after pleading guilty to aggravated sexual assault and attempted murder

The Parole Board of Canada says a man who assaulted a young pregnant woman and left her for dead remains too dangerous to be released into the community.

Albert Muckle, who is now 44, pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault and attempted murder in the 2005 attack on the Banff hotel worker.

Court heard that Muckle beat her unconscious and stole $20. He later returned and sexually assaulted her before attempting to strangle her with her purse strap.
