Canadian woman admits she strangled daughter to keep boyfriend

 

A woman from Bridgewater, N.S., has been handed a life sentence with no parole eligibility for 20 years for strangling her only child after her boyfriend gave her an ultimatum.

Penny Boudreau, 34, pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder in the death of 12-year-old Karissa Boudreau.

The girl´s frozen body was found on the outskirts of Bridgewater on Feb. 9, 2008, about two weeks after her mother reported her missing.

Boudreau, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, told the court, "I´m sorry."

When asked about the apology, Paul Boudreau, Karissa´s father, said bluntly: "Crocodile tears."

"Justice has been served," he added.

Justice Margaret Stewart, who handed down the sentence at the Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Bridgewater, said the horrible crime merited a harsh sentence.

"You can never call yourself mother in conjunction with Karissa´s name again," Stewart said.

Karissa´s relatives sobbed loudly as Crown attorney Paul Scovil read out the grim details of the girl´s final moments in an agreed statement of facts.

The court heard that Boudreau´s boyfriend, Vernon Macumber, told her she had to choose between him and her daughter if she wanted to save their relationship.

 this story doesn´t bear thinking about.....to take the life of a child, your own child in exchange for a man definately not worth anything to be making those sort of ultimatums..... I really don´t know what can be in the heads of these people {#lang_emotions_sad}

This is a horrendous story! I actually think it is something to really ponder. What depths of depravity can some sink to? What has happened to basic humanity, what about mother instinct? Something here went very bezerk.

This is sick and repulsive, I hate even reading such stories. Life is not fair, some people cannot have a child and some treat parenthood like garbage...I wish there was a test for parenthood, some people do not deserve to be called people

Bank tells staff: Don´t forget the lipstick, girls

The Bank of England came under fire last night for "institutional sexism", after it held a seminar for female staff to advise them on what clothing, shoes and make-up to wear.

A memo leaked from the meeting details the advice given to staff, including the warning that wearing certain accessories would make women workers look like prostitutes.

"Look professional, not fashionable; be careful with perfume; always wear a heel of some sort – maximum two inches; always wear some sort of makeup, even if it´s just lipstick," read the memo. It was distributed by the professional image consultancy firm hired by the bank for the event.

"Shoes and skirt must be the same colour. No-nos include ankle chains – "professional, but not the one you want to be associated with" – white high heels; overstuffed handbags; an overload of rings, and double-pierced ears," it continued.
