Australia nmurder er who achieved notoriety for killing a man in 1989, supposedly in order to drink his blood.Murder
Wiggington was the only one of the four co-accused, who pleaded guilty to the charge of murder. Therefore, there was no trial and few details were disclosed to the court as to why this incident occurred. Her then-girlfriend, Lisa Ptachinski, and two other women fuelled rumours about Wigginton having vampiric tendencies, stating that the reason for the murder was to enable the drinking of the man's blood.
On the night of the murder, Wigginton, Ptaschinski and two other women lured 47-year-old Edward Baldock to a park on the banks of the
Brisbane River . There, Wigginton stabbed him 27 times, nearly severing his head.In 1991, she was sentenced to
life imprisonment by theSupreme Court of Queensland .Aftermath
The case still commands strong media interest and public reaction. In
April 2008 it has been reported that Lisa Ptaschinski, one of the other killers, will be released from prison after nearly 20 years. Under the resettlement leave program, Ptaschinski will be given a maximum of 12 hours leave every two months for six months.
