Housemates on Trial for Donna Louise Howe's Murder | Perth News

Published 5 days, 15 hours ago
Description

In a chilling courtroom drama, two men face trial for the brutal murder of 57-year-old Donna Louise Howe, whose skeletal remains were found months after she vanished from her Queensland home. Accusations of theft sparked a deadly confrontation, with former housemate Chelsea Butterworth revealing Oliver had planned to kill Howe — and later told her he’d “exterminated” her. Both Oliver and Franklin admit to torching her body, while Butterworth, now testifying in exchange for a lighter sentence, confessed to enabling the cover-up while under the grip of meth addiction and fear of Oliver. Defense lawyers are attacking her credibility, but the jury is still weighing the harrowing details of how a woman was silenced — and what followed.
