維多利亞州最高法院在對 Milena Bogojevska 判刑前舉行了聆訊，她承認誤殺了 85 歲的鄰居 Lolene Whitehand。

The incident began on July 12, 2024, when Ms. Whitehand entered Ms. Bogojevska's home. Evidence shows that Ms. Bogojevska attacked the victim and used a tea towel to stop her from breathing. After the attack, the victim's body was moved by car and left in the Maribyrnong River. Forensic tests confirmed severe bruising on the head, neck, and chest, and found a school bag belonging to the defendant's son wrapped around the victim's face.

事件始於 2024 年 7 月 12 日，當時 Whitehand 女士進入 Bogojevska 女士的家中。證據顯示 Bogojevska 女士襲擊了受害者，並使用一條茶巾使其無法呼吸。襲擊後，受害者的屍體被以車輛運走，並棄於 Maribyrnong 河。法醫檢測確認頭部、頸部和胸部有嚴重瘀傷，並發現一個屬於被告兒子的書包包裹在受害者的臉上。

After the killing, the defendant used the victim's bank cards to spend over $4,000 on electronics, shoes, and lottery tickets. When police first investigated, Ms. Bogojevska pretended she knew nothing about the crime. She told authorities that she had not seen the victim for seven days and strongly denied any involvement.

殺害受害者後，被告使用受害者的銀行卡消費超過 4,000 美元購買電子產品、鞋類和彩票。當警方最初調查時，Bogojevska 女士假裝對此案一無所知。她告訴當局她已有七天沒見過受害者，並強烈否認參與其中。

During the legal process, the original murder charge was reduced to manslaughter because of a plea agreement. The defense lawyer, Amy Brennan, argued that the death was a sudden and unplanned result of the attack. Furthermore, the defense mentioned the defendant's difficult childhood in Macedonia and her unstable home life as reasons for a lighter sentence. However, the prosecution emphasized that the defendant showed no regret and caused deep emotional pain to the victim's family and the community.

在法律程序中，由於認罪協議，原本的謀殺指控被減輕為誤殺。辯護律師 Amy Brennan 主張，死亡是襲擊中突然且未經計劃的結果。此外，辯方提到被告在馬其頓艱苦的童年及其不穩定的家庭生活，作為請求減刑的理由。然而，控方強調被告未表現出悔意，並給受害者家屬及社區帶來深切的情感痛苦。

Ms. Bogojevska is still in prison while she waits for her final sentence for the charge of manslaughter.

Bogojevska 女士目前仍在獄中，等待誤殺指控的最終判決。

The Supreme Court of Victoria has conducted a pre-sentence hearing for Milena Bogojevska, who pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her 85-year-old neighbor, Lolene Whitehand.

維多利亞州最高法院已為 Milena Bogojevska 舉行判刑前聆訊，她承認誤殺了 85 歲的鄰居 Lolene Whitehand。

The incident commenced on July 12, 2024, when Ms. Whitehand entered the residence of Ms. Bogojevska. Evidence presented indicates that Ms. Bogojevska assaulted the victim, utilizing a tea towel to obstruct her airway. The victim's body, weighing 47 kilograms, was subsequently transported via vehicle and deposited in the Maribyrnong River. Forensic analysis confirmed extensive bruising to the head, neck, and chest, with a school bag—bearing the name of the defendant's son—wrapped around the victim's face.

事件始於 2024 年 7 月 12 日，當時 Whitehand 女士進入了 Bogojevska 女士的住所。呈交的證據顯示，Bogojevska 女士襲擊了被害人，利用一塊茶巾阻塞其呼吸道。被害人體重 47 公斤，隨後被以車輛運送並棄置於 Maribyrnong 河中。法醫分析確認頭部、頸部和胸部有嚴重瘀傷，且有一個寫有被告兒子名字的書包包裹在被害人的臉上。

Following the homicide, the defendant engaged in a series of financial transactions using the victim's bank cards, totaling over $4,000. These expenditures included the acquisition of electronics, footwear, and lottery tickets. During the initial police investigation, Ms. Bogojevska maintained a facade of ignorance, asserting to authorities that she had not seen the victim for seven days and explicitly denying any involvement in the crime.

在殺害對方後，被告使用被害人的銀行卡進行了一系列金融交易，總額超過 4,000 美元。這些支出包括購買電子產品、鞋類和彩票。在警方初步調查期間，Bogojevska 女士維持不知情的假象，向當局聲稱她已七天未見被害人，並明確否認參與任何犯罪行為。

Legal proceedings saw the original murder charge downgraded to manslaughter following a plea agreement. The defense, led by Amy Brennan, posited that the death was a spontaneous and unintended consequence of the assault. Furthermore, the defense cited the defendant's history of childhood deprivation in Macedonia and subsequent domestic instability as mitigating factors, while asserting that Ms. Bogojevska does not constitute a significant risk to public safety. Conversely, the prosecution highlighted the defendant's lack of remorse and the profound psychological impact on the victim's family and community.

法律程序中，在達成認罪協議後，原有的謀殺指控被降級為誤殺。由 Amy Brennan 領導的辯護方主張，死亡是襲擊過程中自發且非預期的結果。此外，辯護方引用被告在馬其頓童年時期的匱乏以及隨後的家庭不穩定作為減刑因素，同時聲稱 Bogojevska 女士不會對公共安全構成重大風險。相反，控方強調被告缺乏悔意，以及對被害人家人和社區造成的深遠心理影響。

Ms. Bogojevska remains in custody awaiting final sentencing for the charge of manslaughter.

Bogojevska 女士目前仍被拘留，等待誤殺罪名的最終判刑。
