Convicted animal killer Kayla Bourque will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty to breach of recognizance.

The 28-year-old former Prince George resident, who was designated a high-risk violent offender after a 2012 conviction for killing animals and causing them unnecessary pain, was arrested Jan. 10 for being in breach of one of the court-ordered conditions of her release.

Last June, the B.C. Ministry of Public Safety alerted the public that she had moved to Surrey and remained subject to intensive monitoring and 43 court-ordered conditions that included a ban on the possession of any pornography and devices capable of accessing the internet.

Bourque pleaded guilty to the breach Tuesday in Vancouver provincial court. She is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 8.
