Parole for cover up woman

THE woman who admitted she helped dispose of the body parts of Jake AndersonBrettner after his murder has been released on parole.

Gemma Elizabeth Clark was sentenced to 5½ years’ jail in April 2019 and was eligible for parole on August 17 this year.

The Parole Board of Tasmania, in its newly published decision, found Clark did not pose a risk to the public were she to be released on parole.

The parole board said she had been a minimum security prisoner and “has good case notes recording her positive engagement with staff.”

Her former partner Jack Harrison Vincent Sadler murdered Mr Anderson-Brettner, 24, on August 15, 2018.

Sadler shot Mr AndersonBrettner three times before decapitating and dismembering the body in a room of his Riverside home that had been lined with plastic.

Clark helped Sadler dispose of the body parts that were placed in bin bags and put into wheelie bins in various locations around the Launceston area.

After her arrest she helped police locate the torso of Mr Anderson-Brettner, the only body part located.
