Quebec Man Pleads Guilty To Killing Sex Worker While Out On Day Parole

The Canadian Press, 27 Feb, 2020 08:08 PM

    QUEBEC - A man sentenced to life in prison in 2006 for the murder of his partner has pleaded guilty to killing a sex worker while out on day parole.

     

    Eustachio Gallese, 51, entered the plea to a charge of first-degree murder this morning at the Quebec City courthouse.

     

    He was accused of killing Marylene Levesque in a Quebec City hotel on Jan. 22.

     

    After initially being charged with second-degree murder, it was upgraded to first-degree murder Monday.

     

    In 2006, Gallese was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 15 years after he killed his 32-year-old partner, Chantale Deschenes, by beating her with a hammer before repeatedly stabbing her.

     

    As part of his day parole, a risk-management strategy was developed to allow Gallese to meet women to respond to his "sexual needs" — a provision that has triggered a full federal probe by the Commissioner of the Correctional Service and the chair of the Parole Board of Canada.
