Paul Bernardo’s father complains that ex-wife ‘got away’ with vicious crimes

The father of one of Canada's most infamous convicted murderers, Paul Bernardo, has spoken to media about staying in touch with his son and rehashed his anger that Bernardo's former wife and accomplice, Karla Homolka, is no longer in prison.

Ken Bernardo spoke to the Toronto Sun about his son Paul's conviction of the rape, torture and murder of Leslie Mahaffy, Kristen French and Tammy Homolka committed between 1990 and 1992.

Bernardo was convicted of first-degree murder and declared a dangerous offender, while Homolka served a 12-year sentence for manslaughter and now lives in Guadeloupe with another husband and three children, according to a book published last year.

Ken complained that Karla "got away" with the crimes she committed with his son, but he told the Toronto Sun he doesn't talk about the past when he visits Paul.

“We don’t talk about the past. We just go on. What can you do about it?" he told the Sun.

Bernardo will also be leaving part of the past behind after moving from the Kingston penitentiary to the maximum-security Millhaven Penitentiary, according to the Sun, where he will continue to serve his time isolated from other prisoners.

The Kingston Penitentiary is officially closed as of Sept. 30 after 178 years in operation. Among its other notorious inmates are Clifford Olson, convicted of killing 11 children, and Russell Williams, a former Canadian Forces commander who killed two women in 2010.

Ken Bernardo told the Toronto Sun he had met Russell Williams' wife, Mary-Elizabeth Harriman, during past visits to the Kingston Penitentiary. Harriman lost a bid in 2012 to hide her divorce proceedings from Williams under a publication ban, according to the National Post.
