Canada's 'schoolgirl killer' now volunteers at Christian primary school

A Canadian convicted serial killer is reportedly volunteering at a school despite her victims being school children.

CityNews reports Karla Homolka is occasionally volunteering at Montreal elementary school Greaves Adventist Academy.

Homolk was sentenced to 12 years prison in 1993 in the deaths of schoolgirls Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy.

She also had a role in the death of Leslie’s 15-year-old sister Tammy and has been seen regularly at a private Christian school in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, a residential neighbourhood in Montreal.

A woman said Homolka’s children attended the school and that parents didn’t want her near their children.

“How would you feel knowing that your child is interacting with a person who is a serial killer?” she said.

“It’s not right.”

She said she had approached the school principal but nothing has changed.

Sources connected to the school told CityNews Homolka recently helped supervise a group of kindergarten students during a field trip to the Montreal Science Centre.

But Seventh-day Adventist Church spokesman Stan Jensen said while the school board knows who Homolka is, she was not a regular volunteer.

“It is protocol for all of our schools across Canada, and most of the world, to do background checks, not only on teachers, but [also] volunteers as well as clergy,” he said.

“As I said, she is not a regular volunteer.

“Rarely would she have cause to go into the school, and when she is, she is never alone.”

Homolka lived in Quebec following her release from prison in 2005.

She had three children after she married Thierry Bordelais, who is the brother of Homolka’s lawyer.
