Adelaide killer 'should never get out', says victim's brother

The brother of a murdered truck driver says the woman who killed her doesn't deserve another chance at freedom after she was arrested for allegedly breaching parole.

Nicole Therese McGuinness beheaded and butchered her victim and buried parts of her body in a strawberry patch in Adelaide's north.

McGuinness was locked up for almost two decades for her gruesome crime.

She now wants her freedom back, after being accused of breaching her parole within months of her release back into the community.

She blames a Google search of her crime for sending her spiralling back into drugs.

A court heard on Monday that prior to McGuinness' release she had been clean from drugs for 12 years while in custody.

She was jailed in 2001 for the cold-blooded stabbing murder of 53-year-old truck driver Joanne Lillecrapp.

Lillecrapp had befriended the two killers, who were lovers working as prostitutes, because she wanted to try to help them to get off drugs.

McGuinness and her co-accused dismembered the body and disposed of some of the remains in the strawberry patch at the victim's Angle Park home, as well as several other locations across Adelaide.

The victim had been through her own struggles, beginning to live as a woman a decade earlier.

The Supreme Court heard on Monday when she was released from jail, McGuinness learned of her own notoriety by conducting a Google search of her own name.

That was what then led to her relapse, the court was told.

In October McGuinness was rushed to Modbury Hospital with a cocktail of substances in her system including heroin and methamphetamine.

The court heard McGuinness is "yet to make genuine commitment to change".

But her lawyer says the parole breach was just a "false start" and asked that McGuinness be allowed to apply for immediate release, arguing the seven months she's been back in custody is enough.

Her victim's brother, Ron Lillecrapp, said McGuinness "doesn't deserve to get out of prison", nor does her co-accused.

"They buried (the victim's) skin in a strawberry patch," he said.

"They put other body parts all over the state. What sort of person does that?

"She should do the full sentence, and then do it again."

McGuiness appeared over video link and cried throughout the hearing on Monday.

Justice Laura Stein has reserved her ruling until a later date.
