A woman who pressured her boyfriend into killing his teenage ex in 2008 has been granted day parole for six months.

The decision by a Parole Board of Canada panel will allow Melissa Todorovic, now in her 30s, to live in a halfway house under several conditions as soon as a bed becomes available.

Todorovic was convicted of first-degree murder in 2009 for ordering her then-boyfriend, David Bagshaw, to kill 14-year old Stefanie Rengel.

Todorovic, who was 15 at the time of the murder, grew jealous of Rengel because the girl had briefly dated Bagshaw years earlier.

She repeatedly threatened to end her relationship with Bagshaw or withhold sex, until Bagshaw eventually stabbed Rengel multiple times on New Year's Day 2008 in Toronto.

Todorovic applied for parole after 7 years in prison
