Couple stabbed woman in frenzied attack over love triangle, court told
Hannah Glover and James Sorgiovanni are accused of stabbing Busselton woman Tara Morrison multiple times before stuffing her body in a wardrobe.
Hannah Glover, 30, and James Sorgiovanni, 29, are on trial for the murder of Tara Morrison, who was stabbed to death in their Busselton home in April 2024. According to the prosecutor, Morrison entered the Bell Drive home while under the influence of methylamphetamine with the couple. A neighbor heard prolonged screams, lasting approximately 30 minutes, that described Morrison's distress and life-threatening condition.
CCTV footage showed Glover and Sorgiovanni, along with Glover's 18-month-old daughter, leaving the scene on a scooter. The gas had been left on deliberately to allow for a potential house fire. Sorgiovanni claimed that Glover attacked Morrison while he attempted to call for help, while Glover's lawyer argued that her client admitted to the crime, citing a "love triangle" between Glover, Sorgiovanni, and Morrison.
However, Glover's lawyer maintains that Sorgiovanni was responsible for the murder, emphasizing the drugs' effects on his client's actions.
