Who comes up with these cringeworthy headlines?

“Femme fatale”, as well as “black widow” and various other such descriptors, were covered by a suppression order, as I recall (I glanced at it as I walked past the courtroom).

No wonder they relished the chance to finally use it once the order was lifted.

Article text:

‘A femme fatale who had two of her partners murdered eight years apart must spend at least 30 years in prison for her crimes.

Former stripper Robyn Lindholm was this year found guilty of murder over the death of George Templeton, who went missing in 2005 and whose body has never been found.

Police believe Lindholm arranged for her then-lover, Wayne Amey, to kill Mr Templeton.

Her trial was told she arranged for Mr Amey to attack Mr Templeton in his Reservoir home, while she was out. Advertisement

Prosecutors said Lindholm’s murder of Mr Templeton, who was previously known as George Teazis, was aggravated because it involved pre-meditation and planning, her attempt to make an alibi, and her "beligerent and protracted deception" of Mr Templeton's family.

His family has lived with the "mystery" of his disappearance for 14 years, prosecutor Ray Gibson, QC, told a pre-sentence hearing in the Supreme Court last month, and still do not know what happened to his body.

The former exotic dancer – who once dated gangland figure Alphonse Gangitano – was jailed for 25 years, to serve at least 21 years, after she had two other men murder Mr Amey in 2013.

She arranged for the men to kill Mr Amey - a gym owner - whose body was found between boulders on Mount Korong in central Victoria.

The 46-year-old woman had her non-parole period increased to 30 years on Thursday, when Supreme Court Justice Christopher Beale jailed her for Mr Templeton's murder.

The sentence means Lindholm will be 71 when she becomes eligible for parole, and 80 if she serves her full sentence for the two murders.’

Dunno, but I was wondering in that first paragraph why a woman would go off and murder people, but then I read in the second paragraph that she's a former stripper and suddenly it all made sense.
