MEDICINE HAT - Canada's youngest multiple killer is now able to have a taste of freedom after a judge changed her sentence from closed to open custody, allowing escorted absences into the community.

As part of her rehabilitation and gradual return to the community, the girl will be allowed to go for escorted walks on hospital grounds and be taken to banks and shopping malls.

During an annual sentencing review this morning in Medicine Hat, the girl's psychologist and case worker said the girl is making progress and would benefit from outings into the community before the end of her youth sentence.
