Bruised Face of Rapist and Killer Karla Homolka

Police Evidence
In January 1993 Homolka separated from Bernardo because of the constant physical abuse that he subjected her to beginning in the summer of 1992. His attacks had become increasingly ferocious, resulting in Homolka being hospitalized. She left him and moved in with friends of her sister, one of which was a police officer. Soon after, police began to close in on Bernardo as the Scarborough Rapist and Homolka, suspecting the two would soon be caught for their murdering past, began confessing.

A plea bargain was arranged and Homolka agreed to disclose all crimes the couple committed and testify against her husband and suspected Scarborough Rapist, Paul Bernardo. After the agreement was made tapes were found at the couple's home which clearly showed Homolka receiving pleasure from victimizing the young girls, including her own sister. Homolka's stand that she was also a victim of Bernardo was no longer credible, but the plea bargain was sealed. This plea bargain received much public criticism from Canadians.

On July 04, 2005, Homolka was released from prison.
