A woman who dismembered another woman before burying her under a strawberry patch in Adelaide in 2001, will be eligible for release in two months.
Nicole Therese McGuinness was using drugs when she killed 53-year-old Joanne Lillecrapp before burying her dismembered remains in her suburban backyard at Angle Vale.
McGuinness was sentenced to life in prison in 2003, and served almost 20 years behind bars before being released on parole in January last year.
She breached her parole twice by using drugs before being taken back into custody.
Supreme Court Justice Laura Stein today imposed a new 12-month non-parole period for the breach, meaning she will get a third chance for release from October 24.
The court previously heard McGuinness breached her parole by using drugs after googling herself and the reporting of her offending.
Her relapse was "so serious that she was as risk of dying", the Supreme Court heard.
The victim's family have strongly opposed her release given McGuinness continues to use drugs each time she is given parole.
McGuinness's lawyer Joseph Henderson previously told the court his client now had a support system in place for her release.
