Story summary

Hannah Louise Glover, 30, admitted to murdering Tara Marie Morrison, 38, during her trial at the WA Supreme Court on October 13, 2026. The admission came after Glover confessed to another prisoner that she had stabbed Morrison three times in the neck to ensure her death. Morrison's body was found stuffed into a wardrobe at Glover’s home in Busselton, about 220km south of Perth, with approximately 40 stab wounds and signs of restraint. The murder occurred on April 15, 2024, during a drug-fueled incident involving Glover, Morrison, and James Anthony Sorgiovanni. While Glover changed her plea to guilty, Sorgiovanni remains accused and has pleaded not guilty. Morrison had previously been in a relationship with both Glover and Sorgiovanni, creating a complex love triangle scenario.
