PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A man convicted of killing his parents in 1985 in the Cedar Mill community near Portland is scheduled to be released from prison Friday.

The Oregon State Board of Parole voted in November to released Kenneth Janowski.

The Oregonian reports (http://is.gd/3AGi1P) he had pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and won a state supreme court case in 2010 that said he was eligible for parole after 20 years.

The 45-year-old has taught automotive repair to other inmates and in 1995 he married a woman he met as a pen pal. He’ll be released in Marion County where his wife lives.
