UPDATE: In a significant development, accused killers Hannah Glover, 29, and James Sorgiovanni, 28, have pleaded not guilty to the murder of Tara Morrison, a 38-year-old mother-of-one. The pair made their first appearance in the WA Supreme Court via video link from Melaleuca and Casuarina prisons, marking a critical moment in this ongoing case.

The tragic incident occurred on April 12, 2022, when police found Morrison’s body during a welfare check at a home on Bell Drive in Busselton, approximately 220 km south of Perth. Authorities discovered her lifeless body around 8 PM, prompting an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

As investigators delved deeper, they sought public assistance, appealing for any footage of a man and woman on an e-scooter carrying a toddler between Busselton and Margaret River between 6 PM on April 11 and 8 PM on April 12. The relationship between the accused and Morrison remains unclear, adding to the case’s complexity.

During today’s hearing, the state prosecution informed the court they are awaiting several reports to advance the proceedings. Justice Joseph McGrath has scheduled a trial date set to commence on September 29, 2024, marking the next step in this high-profile case that has captured public attention.

This case strikes a chord not just legally but emotionally, as it highlights the tragic loss of a mother and the impact on her family and community. As the trial approaches, the public and media will be closely monitoring developments, eager for justice for Tara Morrison.
