Taita Prichard, 42, a Papua New Guinean and naturalised Australian citizen was found guilty for planning and using her cousin to willfully murder her former lover, John Hulse at Napanapa outside Port Moresby on July 23, 2011.

She was convicted along with her cousin, 35-year-old James Paru on Nov 11, 2015. Both were sentenced to serve 30 years in prison on Feb 12 this year.

Convicted and sentenced by Deputy Chief Justice Sir Gibbs Salika of the Waigani National Court, Prichard filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against that.
