Kerry Sim
Kerry Sim, formerly known as Kelly Ellard, is a Canadian woman who gained notoriety for her role in the 1997 murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk in Victoria, British Columbia. At the age of 15, Sim participated in a brutal attack that culminated in Virk's drowning, which shocked the nation and drew international media attention. Convicted of second-degree murder, Sim was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2005 after a series of trials that included appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada.
