BODY-in-the-boot killer Tania Herman has arrived at her lesbian lover’s home after being released from prison on Valentine’s Day.
Herman, wearing jeans and a red shirt, declined to talk to media outside the Yarraville property.
This morning she was released from jail and drove away in a silver Toyota 4WD with her lover Nicky Muscat.
Herman spent most of her time in the Dame Phyllis Frost maximum-security prison but was released from Tarrengower — a minimum-security jail.
Herman emerged from the women’s minimum-security prison near Bendigo at 8.20am today, nine years and four days after she was jailed for the attempted murder of Maria Korp.
Mrs Korp was found in the boot of her car in Melbourne barely alive four days after she was throttled in her Mickleham home in February, 2005.
She died in hospital five months later.
Mrs Korp’s husband, Joe Korp, was also charged with attempted murder for colluding with Herman, his mistress, to kill his wife.
Mr Korp killed himself on the day of his wife’s funeral.
Herman confessed to the crime, stating she had been motivated by her love for Mr Korp, who had requested she “get rid” of his wife so they could be together.
Wearing a cap and red shirt, Herman shielded her face from waiting media with her arm as she was driven out of the prison.
She sat in the front passenger seat of a 4WD, believed to be driven by her lesbian lover Nicky Muscat, also wearing a cap and sunglasses.
About 20 minutes earlier, the boom gates of Tarrengower Prison had gone up.
Two minutes later, the light grey 4WD sped into the prison driveway almost on two wheels, heeding none of the entrance warnings asking drivers to slow down.
Muscat, a convicted fraudster, was released from jail last year.
Herman was sentenced to 12 years jail in 2005 with a non-parol period of nine years.
