Karla, Ugh
By DANIEL RENAUD, SUN MEDIA
MONTREAL -- New mother Karla Homolka is staying put in Quebec, in spite of rumours she had plans to leave the country, Sun Media has learned.
The 34-year-old Ontario schoolgirl killer was freed from prison in July 2005 having served 12 years for her role in the deaths of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, is attempting to live a normal life in a non-descript bungalow in a south shore suburb.
Homolka, who changed her name to Leanne Teale, gave birth to a baby boy at Montreal's Saint Mary's hospital in February.
We caught up with Karla Homolka outside a private medical clinic a few weeks after she gave birth.
Homolka was in the company of her new husband, and we took a number of pictures of her toting her son in a baby carrier.
On a cold day in Montreal, Homolka wore a hooded jacket, a scarf across her face and a pair of sunglasses. A wedding ring was visible on her left hand.
'SHE PAID HER DEBT'
"Leave us in peace," Homolka told us as we approached her for comment.
Her husband, Thierry Bordelais, told us it was time the media left his wife alone.
"She paid her debt to society. She has the right to the private life," he said.
Some weeks ago, a source told Sun Media that the couple intended to get married in the Antilles, where Bordelais's family hails from.
When asked if the new family was planning to move overseas as rumoured, Bordelais said no.
"We want to stay, we want to live here," he said.
But Bordelais said life in Quebec is anything but easy for his wife who is trying to put the past behind her.
"It's not a life," he said, noting the renewed media interest in his family following the birth of their son.
Leave us in peace? Ha! I don't think so. Gee, I wonder if the families of the victims are living in peace? I certainly hope they've been able to come to some level of acceptance, but peace? I greatly doubt that.
It doesn't escape me that the upcoming Easter weekend is the anniversary of one of the abductions. That's the media for you. Reliving heinous crimes, so we must all relive it as well, including the families of the victims.
This is one reason I don't like reading the news.
