Excerpt: Karla Leanne Homolka, also known as Karla Leanne Teale (born 4 May, 1970 in Port Credit, Ontario, Canada), is a Canadian convict who attracted worldwide media attention when she was convicted of manslaughter following a plea bargain in the 1991 rape-murders of two Ontario teenage girls, Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, as well as the rape and death of Homolka's sister Tammy. Paul Bernardo was arrested in 1993 and in 1995 was convicted of the three teenagers' murders. He received life in prison, the full maximum sentence allowed in Canada. Homolka, however, "portrayed herself as the innocent victim of a murderous monster. , she struck a deal with prosecutors (later dubbed the "Deal with the Devil") and pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the deaths in exchange for a 12-year prison sentence. But videotapes of the crimes, found after the plea bargain, showed her to be a more active participant. Public outrage about Homolka's sentence had barely cooled by the time of her extremely high-profile release from prison in 2005". She lived in the province of Quebec for a time and in 2007, was speculated to have left Canada for the Antilles, new partner and baby in hand. In December 2009, La Presse claimed that Homolka was back in Ontario studying Law and living with her partner Luka Magnotta. Homolka is the eldest of three daughters (the others being Lori (b. 1971), and Tammy (1975-1990)). Her parents are Karel and Dorothy Homolka of St. Catharines, Ontario. Homolka attended Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School and began working part time in a pet shop at a nearby mall. In October, 1987, she attended a convention in Toronto where she met her husband-to-be, Paul Bernardo. After Karla received her high school diploma in 1989 she was hired as a veterinar.
