Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bernardo

Paul Kenneth Bernardo, also known as Paul Jason Teale (born 27 August 1964 in Scarborough, Ontario), is a Canadian serial killer and rapist, known for the sexual assaults and murders he committed with his wife Karla Homolka and the serial rapes he committed in Scarborough.

In October 1987, he met Karla Homolka.They became sexually interested in each other almost immediately. Unlike the other girls he knew, she encouraged his sadistic sexual behaviour, also encouraging his acts as the "Scarborough Rapist."

Bernardo was convicted in 1995 of the kidnapping, raping and murdering of southern Ontario teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy. Homolka portrayed herself as the innocent victim of a murderous monster. 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.

Homolka's lawyers continue fighting in court to prevent the media from reporting on her life outside prison, including her whereabouts.

Stephen Williams, author of two books on Bernardo and Homolka, pleads guilty to breaking a publication ban by posting the names of the couple's sexual assault victims on his website. He receives a three-year suspended sentence and is ordered to do 70 hours of community service

A young woman is raped in Scarborough, Ont., the first in a chain of rapes committed by the person the media dubs the Scarborough Rapist. Paul Bernardo would later admit to the sexual assaults of at least 14 women in southern Ontario. At one point, Bernardo faced 53 charges related to the rape – and in some cases, murder – of young women.

 

This case is a very sad and horrifying story I personally do not think this type of news should be ban from the media. They were both involved in murdering people and the media should know about these types of murders because there can be more of these types of murders in the world that the media should be aware of for their own protection. “Homolka's lawyers continue fighting in court to prevent the media from reporting on her life outside prison, including her whereabouts” Homolka does have the right to protect herself from the media once she did come out of prison, because the media does have to understand that even though they want to protect them self from harmful people that did such bad crime, they should understand the law and law forces have consequence for those who break the law. This is a great example of an article for people in the media to know about the type of things that happen and be more aware.
