A chilling tale of greed and calculated cruelty: Milena Bogojevska, 32, has been sentenced to eight years for suffocating her 85-year-old neighbor Lolene Whitehand with a tea towel in July 2024 — then staging the crime like a cold-blooded thief. Security footage captured her covering the victim’s head, dumping her body in the Maribyrnong River, and later brazenly joining neighbors while lying about not seeing Mrs. Whitehand for weeks. She ransacked the home, stole cash and ID, and spent nearly $4,000 on luxury items using stolen cards — even as couriers delivered goods during her arrest. Though initially charged with murder, prosecutors accepted her manslaughter plea. The judge called it opportunistic and premeditated, while the victim’s grieving son died without justice — unable to hear his mother’s voice or look at the river where she vanished. Bogojevska showed no remorse, but her defense cited health struggles and a troubled past — while prosecutors emphasized the brutality against a vulnerable woman.
