Overview

  • Sharon Graham, convicted in 2023 for the murder of her ex-partner Bruce Saunders, has lodged an appeal against her life sentence.
  • Graham claims an equitable interest in Saunders's estate, citing alleged financial contributions to his property prior to his death.
  • The Queensland Public Trustee is managing the $34,441 surplus from the 2018 sale of Saunders's Nambour home, following a court order on May 20, 2025.
  • Under Queensland law, Graham's conviction disqualifies her from inheriting from Saunders's estate unless her appeal is successful.
  • Greg Roser, Graham's accomplice, was also sentenced to life in 2022, while Peter Koenig, who testified against both, pleaded guilty to being an accessory.
