OTTAWA, CANADA — Corrections Canada has been ordered to review the Internet-based auction of prison artwork by a convicted killer. Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day asked the commissioner of the prisons agency to look into the case involving Roch Theriault, now serving a life sentence in New Brunswick for a brutal murder. The Canadian Press reported Sunday that more than half a dozen items by Theriault, including oil paintings, pastels, handprints and poems, have turned up on the U.S.-based website MurderAuction.com.
