Loading Lindholm – who was also once in a relationship with gangster Alphonse Gangitano, who in 1998 became one of the first victims of Melbourne's gangland murders – now faces having her prison time significantly increased for Mr Templeton's murder. In 2015 she was jailed for 25 years, to serve 21 years before she is eligible for parole, for having Torsten Trabert and John Ryan murder Mr Amey, whose body was found between boulders on Mount Korong, in central Victoria, in December 2013. Trabert and Ryan had attacked and stabbed Mr Amey, 54, in the car park under his Hawthorn apartment block about a week earlier. Mr Templeton and Lindholm, who used the name Collette when she worked as a stripper, were both associates of another exotic dancer, Shari Davison, who went missing in 1995 and whose body has never been found.

Lindholm was charged with Mr Templeton's murder in 2016. Mr Amey was never charged. Mr Templeton, who was previously known as George Teazis, had convictions for drug and weapons offences and was reportedly a standover man but was also running his own carpet laying business at the time of his disappearance.

The trial heard Mr Templeton was drinking brandy with Lindholm and one of her friends on the night of May 2, 2005 when the two women went for a drive and returned to find him and his Holden ute gone.

Prosecutors argued Lindholm had her friend drive her to meet Mr Amey, with whom she was having an affair but that the trip was actually intended to give Lindholm an alibi while she had someone enter the Reservoir house and kill Mr Templeton. The rendezvous never happened and lead prosecutor Ray Gibson, QC, argued it was Mr Amey and another man who attacked and killed Mr Templeton while Lindholm was out. Robyn Lindholm in her stripping days. Mr Templeton's body was never found. His ute was discovered in Fitzroy about a fortnight after he went missing. Investigators found blood splatters on the couch and in the lounge where he was drinking brandy. Mr Gibson told the jury Lindholm began an intense affair with Mr Amey in 2003, and that she wanted to be with him rather than Mr Templeton, so had the latter killed.

"She wanted him out of the way. He was an encumbrance, he was an anchor around her neck," Mr Gibson said in his closing address. "He was suspicious, had a strong personality and he stood in the way of her being able to pursue her relationship with Wayne."

The lovers reported to police Lindholm often sang about Mr Templeton swimming with fish in the sea, and said she claimed Mr Templeton was violent and raped her.

The prisoner claimed Lindholm told her she stabbed Mr Templeton during sex. According to the prisoner, Lindholm said: "I slit his f---ing throat as he came, it was the best orgasm I ever had." Lindholm denied any involvement in her partner's disappearance and death. She pleaded not guilty. George Templeton. Defence counsel John Kelly, SC, told the jury the prosecution case hadn't been made with sufficient reliability to shift the presumption of innocence, and that the witnesses who said Lindholm confessed couldn't be trusted. The friend was a perjurer, Mr Kelly said, the two later lovers were ice users with criminal histories who fabricated their stories, and the prisoner's evidence was "nonsense".

Loading "There's no way you can synthesise these accounts. There's no way you can reconcile them," Mr Kelly told the jury. "There's no way you can weave them into a coherent narrative. They are, each of them, we would say, patently absurd and very inconvenient to the prosecution case." But the jury of nine men and three women on Thursday found Lindholm guilty after deliberating since Tuesday. She stood trial more than a year ago but that jury was discharged without reaching a verdict. A suppression order meant she could only be referred to LR during her trials. Media can now name Lindholm and report her background. The jury wasn't told of her prior conviction for murder.

Justice Christopher Beale remanded the former junior ice skating star and avid equestrian to return to court for a pre-sentence hearing on October 24.

The two men were both found guilty of murder and Trabert was jailed for 28 years with a minimum of 23 years, and Ryan was jailed for 31 years, to serve at least 26 years.

Trabert told police he and Lindholm had sex next to a creek on their way back to Melbourne after they and Ryan dumped Mr Amey's body. The trio were all ice users at the time.
