Canadian serial killer Karla Holmolka gives birth

Between 1990-1992, Karla Holmolka, together with her husband Paul Bernardo, raped and murdered at least four teenage girls, including her own sister. In return for testifying against her husband, Karla received a plea bargain, pleading guilty to manslaughter and receiving a 12 year prison sentence. She finished serving her time and was released on July 4, 2005. Paul is still in prison. In 2005, That 70's Show's Laura Prepon starred in a film about the couple's crimes.

Now it is being reported in the Canadian media that she, using the name Leanne Teale, gave birth to a seven pound boy at a Montreal hospital on February 3rd.

The lawyer for the families of her victims said, "There is a very distressing irony that their children won't grow up to have children, and the person who willingly participated in their abduction, kidnapping and sex torture and murder is now having a child."
