Police are issuing a public notification about the release of a high-risk violent sex offender who is expected to live in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

Convicted killer Marcel Hank Charlette, 53, was released from Milner Ridge provincial jail Sunday after serving a sentence for breaches of probation.<\/p>\n

The Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit, a team of RCMP and the Winnipeg Police Service, has deemed Charlette a high-risk to reoffend in a violent and\/or sexual manner against men, women and children.<\/p>\n

Charlette, also known as Hank Marcel Caribou, Hank Charlette, Peewee and Bald Eagle, was convicted in 1991 of manslaughter in the death of a two-year-old child. He has a long history of committing violent crimes. In 2021, he was convicted of assault on a domestic partner and was sentenced to 18 months incarceration and three years of probation.<\/p>\n

Police warn against vigilanteism, saying the public notification is provided so the community can take appropriate steps to protect themselves.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re asking anyone with information about Charlette to call the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit at 431-489-8056, or the Winnipeg Police Service 204-986-6222, your local RCMP Detachment, or Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.<\/p>\n
