A man who helped carry out the murder of a Quebec biker who turned informant on the Hells Angels has been denied parole, in part, because he recently attacked another fellow inmate.

In a decision made last week, the Parole Board of Canada denied full parole to Alvin Starblanket, 44, an Indigenous man who has twice been convicted of killing people, including a priest.

Starblanket is serving the life sentence he received in 2008, when he pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Aimé Simard, a former member of the Rockers, a support club of the Hells Angels Nomads chapter based in Montreal during Quebec’s biker gang war.

Simard decided to become an informant in 1997 after he was arrested for a murder. He testified in court against people tied to the Hells Angels, including fellow members of the Rockers. He admitted to killing three people for the gang as well as three attempted murders.

In 1998, Simard testified in a murder trial at the Montreal courthouse. Five other men tied to the Rockers were accused of murdering a rival drug dealer, but all were acquitted.
