A Canadian man who was convicted nearly two decades ago of murdering and dismembering his girlfriend, earning him the moniker 'the butcher of Gatineau,' has been granted parole and is preparing to start a new life as a transgender woman.
Khaled Farhan, 46, who now goes by his new name, Zahra Farhan, won parole in January.
'You are assessed as a low to low end of moderate risk for both general and violence recidivism,' the parole board wrote of Farhan.
Zahra Farhan, 46, formerly known as Khaled Farhan, was convicted in 2000 of second-degree murder in the brutal cocaine-fueled killing of 24-year-old Karina Janveau (pictured)
The woman, who is visually impaired, plans to move into a halfway house and get a service dog to help her with daily tasks.
Farhan was convicted in 2000 of second-degree murder in the cocaine-fuelled killing of 24-year-old Karina Janveau inside the couple's apartment in Gatineau, Quebec, in the summer of 1999, reported Ottawa Citizen.
The suspect, then still known as a man, testified during his trial that he had pushed his girlfriend of less than a year and she fell and hit her head, resulting in her death.
However, an autopsy showed the young woman was stabbed multiple times, including post-mortem.
Farhan kept Janveau’s decomposing body for days in the basement, until neighbors began complaining about a foul odor.
That is when Farhan took a kitchen knife and proceeded to butcher the dead woman's corpse in the bathtub - a gruesome process that took two hours.
Farhan then stuffed some of the body parts into a duffel bag and dumped it along a stretch of train tracks behind their apartment building.
Janveau's body was carved up with a knife and her remains were dumped around her and Farhan's apartment building in Gatineau, Quebec
The other half of the remains he tossed in the dumpster.
In an attempt to cover up the murder and direct the attention of police away from himself, Farhan went on TV pleading for help to find his missing girlfriend.
Farhan lied that Janveau, who was battling a drug addiction and had physical disabilities, had left on a camping trip with a drug dealer.
Despite his efforts to deceive invesitgators, Farhan was arrested just days after the victims' remains were recovered.
One of the first police officers on the scene was Janvau’s younger sister, Sgt Guylaine Larose, who was left traumatized by the experience and later took her own life.
Farhan was initially sent to a men's prison, but was later transferred to a women's prison after identifying herself as a trans woman.
Under the conditions of her release, Farhan is required to live the rest of her life in a halfway house, report any romantic relationships and stay away from drugs and alcohol.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
