Karla Leanne Homolka, also known as Karla Leanne Teale (born

4 May 1970 in Port Credit, Ontario, Canada), is a Canadian

convict.

She attracted worldwide media attention when she was convicted of

manslaughter following a plea bargain in the 1991 and 1992 rape-

murders of two Ontario teenage girls, Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen

French, as well as the rape and death of her own sister Tammy.”

Paul Bernardo was arrested in 1993 and in 1995 was convicted of

the two 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. In

1993, 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.
