Hannah Glover, 30, has changed her plea to guilty to the murder of Tara Morrison, 38, during her trial in Western Australia.

Hannah Glover, 30, changed her plea to guilty to murdering Tara Morrison, 38, during her trial in the Western Australia Supreme Court on Thursday. Morrison's body was found stuffed inside a child's cupboard with 40 stab wounds at a Busselton home, approximately 220 kilometres south of Perth, in April 2024. Glover and James Sorgiovanni, 29, had both initially pleaded not guilty to the murder.

The plea change came one day after a fellow prisoner gave evidence that Glover had confessed to her about the killing. The inmate told the court that Glover said she used multiple knives to stab Morrison, and that Sorgiovanni held Morrison's arms behind her back during the attack. According to the prisoner's account, Glover told her she saw Morrison give drugs to a child and that she injected Morrison with a substance before telling Sorgiovanni "It's time" before killing her.

Sorgiovanni, with whom Glover had been in a relationship for less than two months at the time of the killing, has not changed his plea and his trial continues. Glover will remain in custody until her sentencing.
