Convicted serial killer Paul Bernardo is reportedly ready to marry.
The Toronto Sun reports his fiancee is a 30-year-old London, Ont., woman who writes to the Scarborough rapist and who has an ankle tattoo that reads “Paul’s girl.”
The paper added the unnamed woman even bought wedding bands, but has since re-thought her plans to marry Bernardo after being confronted by her parents.
The woman’s father told the Sun that his daughter is psychologically and emotionally fragile, and lacks street smarts, thus making her the perfect victim for Bernardo.
He now believes reality may have sunk in and hopes his daughter abandons what he calls an “ill-conceived plan.”
According to the Sun, the university-educated woman has been corresponding with the schoolgirl killer since last fall and believes he’s innocent.
The newspaper talked to the woman on three different occasions, and has chosen not to identify her at this time.
Bernardo, 50, has been married once before to Karla Homolka who testified against her ex at his murder trial.
He is serving a life sentence for the Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy murders, and was declared a dangerous offender after pleading guilty to 32 sex-related crimes.
