After a controversial plea deal, Homolka served 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in connection with the killings of two teenage girls. She is the ex-wife of serial killer Paul Bernardo, who remains in prison for the slayings in the 1990s of three teenage girls in Ontario. Many Canadians were revolted and shocked by the details of the killings as well as by those of Homolka’s plea deal.
MONTREAL Karla Homolka may have resettled yet again near Montreal, but she can’t expect full privacy from local news outlets as long as she lives in Quebec, according to its press council in yet another decision on the matter. Every few years since Homolka arrived in Quebec sometime after her 2005 release from prison, her whereabouts have been published most recently last year, by a small weekly for the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield area. That’s where Homolka, the infamous killer convicted in the murders of three Ontario teenage girls in the 1990s, now lives under her new name of Leanne Teale, reported the La Voix régionale Beauharnois-Salaberry Haut-Saint-Laurent.
