A fugitive wanted in the murder of his girlfriend was once deemed a high-risk to attack an intimate partner, according to parole documents obtained by CTV News.

Daniel Alphonse Paul, 42, has been accused of killing girlfriend Rose Paul, a mother-of-five whose body was found in his East Vancouver home early this month.

Officers have been searching for him ever since, even offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

Police warn Paul has a disturbing history of escalating criminal behaviour, which is detailed in a 2010 Parole Board of Canada decision.

Most notable are cases of severe violence against women spanning a number of years, including a vicious sexual assault.

“You used extreme violence, weapons and threats to repeatedly terrorize, assault and rape your victim over a six hour period,” the decision reads.

It also describes Paul as having consistently been deemed “a high risk of reoffending against an intimate partner.”

Given the assessment, some may question why Paul was released from custody in the first place. Criminologist Rob Gordon said there’s simply no mechanism in place to keep him locked up given that he’d already served his time.

“[Paul couldn’t] be kept in any longer because he wasn’t declared a dangerous offender when he was originally convicted,” Gordon said.

As the manhunt continues, police have warned the public that Paul could prey on someone else. They urge anyone who sees him not to approach him.

The suspect is described as Aboriginal, 5’8” tall, with a medium build, brown eyes, and short black hair. He has tattoos of an eagle, a rat, a knife, a skull and a buffalo on his left arm, and tattoos of a skull with a rose and a heart on his right arm.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
