Melissa Todorovic, the “puppet-master” who pulled the strings in the murder of teenager Stefanie Rengel, is back behind bars — a mere four months after being granted day parole. But Rengel already had his concerns about Todorovic, who, as per her parole conditions, was barred from coming within a kilometre of Rengel’s relatives. Yet, despite several further inconsistencies and contradictions, the panel deliberated a mere 15 minutes before granting Todorovic full day parole for six months, after which her status was to be reviewed. Todorovic was convicted in 2009 for masterminding the murder of Stefanie, who was the target of her intense, maddened jealousy. Todorovic was actually parole eligible in 2015 but the whole process had been delayed by her appeal — automatic in first-degree murder.
