Kelly Ellard’s parents probably felt both shocked and ashamed when their daughter was put behind bars for what she did to Reena Virk.
“Under the Bridge” is a TV show based on a true story from Canada that discusses the heartwrenching incident in which Kelly Ellard and Warren Glowatski took the life of a young girl, Reena Virk.
Key Takeaways
- Before the verdict was announced in March 2000, media caught the picture of Kelly and her father leaving the Vancouver courtroom for dinner.
- According to Helen, Ellard’s grandmother, Kelly was a good kid until her parents divorced when she was eight.
- Kelly Ellard’s mother, Susan, divorced Lawrence Ellard many years ago and married George Pakos.
When Reena Virk was younger, others picked her on because of her appearance, religion, weight, and origin.
One day, Kelly Ellard and Warren Glowatski followed her and fought with her, but nobody knew why Glowatski got involved.
They were accused of holding Reena’s head underwater, which caused her to drown, but they said they didn’t do it.
They then dragged her to another part of the bridge and kept hurting her before putting her in the water.
As per a coroner, when they checked her body, they found out that her head was hurt so badly that even if she hadn’t drowned, she might have passed away from those injuries.
