A woman convicted of killing her baby daughter in one of Australia’s most notorious criminal cases will learn whether she will be granted parole after more than 13 years behind bars. Keli Lane, 48, was convicted in 2010 after a jury found her guilty of murdering her newborn daughter Tegan in September 1996. Lane has maintained she gave Tegan to the infant’s father, a man named Andrew Norris or Morris, soon after giving birth at Sydney’s Auburn Hospital.
The NSW Parole Authority will hear submissions from Lane’s legal representatives in a closed hearing on Friday. Lane was sentenced to a maximum of 18 years in prison but is eligible for parole from May 12. She has served time in some of the state’s toughest prisons including Silverwater, Dillwynia and Clarence Correctional Centre. Lane’s bid for release will be a test of “no body, no parole” laws that came into effect in NSW in October 2022, more than a decade after her conviction.
