A jury has found a woman guilty of the brutal murder of young mum Danielle Easey before returning to continue their deliberations on the murder charge against the killer’s former lover.
Carol McHenry, 33, will be sentenced next year after the NSW Supreme Court jury returned with the unanimous guilty verdict on Monday morning.
They have since returned to continue their deliberations on the murder charge against McHenry’s former lover Justin Dilosa, 34.
Ms Easey was the victim of an ill-fated night on August 17, 2019 where she was stabbed to death at McHenry’s Narara home before her body was wrapped in plastic and a doona, and shoved in a white cupboard and van.
Two weeks later the young mum was then callously discarded, her body dumped at Cockle Creek near Killingworth, west of Newcastle, the gruesome find later discovered by a passing motorist.
