BOULDER — A man released after serving seven years for the slayings of his mother and grandmother is back in jail and could be ordered to serve the rest of his 32-year sentence in prison.
John Engel, 23, was ordered to be released from prison last April and sent to a halfway house.
A psychiatrist testified that Engel’s mental illness was controlled with medication.
Court documents obtained by the Boulder Camera indicate Engel violated several terms of his release, including visiting a prohibited women’s corridor at a halfway house.
He has been in jail since October.
Engel pleaded guilty in 2001 to killing Mary Elizabeth Reinschmidt- Engel and her mother, Catherine Rein schmidt, in Longmont in 1999 when he was 14.
