JOLIETTE, Quebec - Canada's most notorious female inmate, who has completed most of her 12-year prison sentence in the slayings of two teenagers, appeared Thursday at a hearing where authorities will try to restrict her freedom once she is released.
Karla Homolka pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 1993 in the sex slayings of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French and is set for release from a Quebec prison July 5, although federal guidelines may allow her to be freed as early as June 23.
The appearance at the Quebec Superior Court was the first in public for Homolka, 35, since she went to prison. She was escorted into the courthouse in a police van, said Benoit Richard, a police officer in Joliette, 50 miles north of Montreal.
Homolka got a reduced sentence by testifying against her ex-husband, Paul Bernardo, at his murder trial. He is serving a life sentence.

She and her husband were a couple of sick f*cks, weren't they? Here's another story about this lovely pair:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karla_HomolkaSNIP
On October 17, 1987 Homolka, then 17 met Bernardo who was 23, at a hotel restaurant. Their relationship quickly became sexual in nature. They would maintain a relationship until 1994 when Homolka divorced Bernardo and began testifying against him. (It was later determined that Bernardo had already raped several girls in Scarborough, a Toronto suburb, by the time of their meeting). On December 23, 1990, Homolka stole the animal anesthetic, Halothane, from the veterinary clinic where she worked. Together she and Bernardo administered it to her fifteen-year-old sister Tammy Lyn Homolka along with a mixture of alcohol and halcion. They raped Tammy in the basement of the Homolka family's home while she was unconscious. The official cause of death was attributed to the girl having choked to death on her own vomit. Her death was ruled an accident.
After Homolka and Bernardo were engaged, they rented a bungalow in the quiet suburb of Port Dalhousie. On June 15, 1991 Bernardo -- while stealing license plates to aid in his cigarette smuggling scheme -- discovered Leslie Erin Mahaffy, who was standing at the door of her home because she had been locked out. The two spoke for some time and went back to Bernardo's car for a cigarette, at which point he forced her into the car and drove her to his home. There, Homolka and Bernardo held the girl hostage for several days, sexually assaulting her repeatedly. This, they recorded on video tape including one scene where Homolka pretties herself for the camera before raping the girl. Eventually, they killed Mahaffy, and Paul Bernardo cut up her body with a circular saw. On June 29, a couple canoeing on a lake at the edge of the city of St. Catharines found parts of Mahaffy's body in shallow water, encased in cement. On the same day that the girl's body was found, Karla Homolka was married in a lavish ceremony, resplendent in an all-white wedding dress and riding with her husband in a horse-drawn carriage at Niagara-on-the-Lake.
On April 16, 1992, the couple drove into a church parking lot. Homolka stepped out of the car with a map pretending to be lost and asking for help from 15-year-old Kristen Dawn French. Bernardo approached from behind and used a knife to force Kristen into the car (a piece of the map, one of Kristen's shoes and some of Kristen's hair were all later found at the crime scene). He forced the girl into the backseat floor of the car at knifepoint. They brought French to their home where for several days they sexually assaulted, abused, and tortured her. They killed her just before going to Easter Sunday dinner at Homolka's parents' home. On April 30, her body was found in a ditch in the city of Burlington, Ontario.

There is a special place in hell reserved for them.
