Carolyn Warmus is shown in court in February 2017. She was released from prison on Monday

The murderess known as the Fatal Attraction killer, Carolyn Warmus, has been released from prison after serving 27 years for the murder of her lover's wife.

Warmus, 55, was granted parole last month and was released on Monday.

The New York Daily News reports that she will be living in the state of New York but further details of her release are not known.

Warmus killed Betty Jean Solomon, her lover's wife, by shooting her nine times in 1989.

She had been having an affair with Solomon's husband Paul.

She was 23 when they began their affair after meeting at the school where she taught.

They dated for a year-and-a-half, during which Paul is said to have promised her that he would leave his wife once their teenage daughter, Kristan, graduated high school.

Warmus killed Betty Jean, prosecutors said, to merely get her out of their way.

After shooting her nine times in her family home, prosecutors said she went to meet Paul in a hotel bar for cocktails then had sex with him in his car.

Betty Jean had also been pistol-whipped. Her husband found her bloody body when he got home from his tryst with Warmus.

Warmus, the daughter of a millionaire insurance executive, got away with it for more than a year. Police initially suspected that Paul had killed his wife but they never charged him.

It was only when he went to Puerto Rico, with a new girlfriend, and was followed there by Warmus that authorities started suspecting her.

In January 1989, Carolyn shot her lover's wife, Betty Jean Solomon, nine times. She and Betty Jean's husband, Paul, had been having an affair for more than a year. Paul and Betty Jean are pictured at their wedding

He told them that she was stalking him and had followed him to the island uninvited.

She insisted that he did invite her to be there.

She was indicted 13 months after Betty Jean's death after police discovered she had purchased a gun from Vincent Parco, a private detective, days before the shooting but has always denied the killing and claims Paul set her up.

Warmus was a 23-year-old teacher when she met Paul, who was 17 years her senior

She believes he and Parco were in cahoots and worked together to put her behind bars.

Parco remains behind bars on unrelated charges.

The killing was compared to the Glenn Close film, Fatal Attraction, which came out two years before the murder.

Warmus was put on trial twice; the first, at which she protested her innocence, ended in a hung jury.

She was convicted of second degree murder at the second trial.

As part of Warmus' release, she must adhere to a curfew and either have employment or enroll herself in an educational program.

She has always maintained that she is innocent and said in an interview from behind bars: 'I'm in prison for 25 years to life because I dated a married man.'

Carolyn said that she wanted DNA testing on a bloody glove and a finger print which was found at the scene to be tested. A judge refused to consider it.
