A Gold Coast woman has been found guilty of murdering her bankrupt businessman fiancé Sam Dhody in July 2013.

Melissa Leigh Shaw, 30, had pleaded not guilty to colluding with on-again, off-again lover Adam Gooley to first try and then succeed in murdering Shyam Sam Dhody.

Mr Dhody was shot in the head with a .22 calibre rifle multiple times while he lay in bed in his Gilston home on July 5, 2013.

Gooley, a mechanic, was jailed in September last year with no parole for 20 years, after pleading guilty to the shooting.

A Supreme Court jury today found Shaw guilty of murder and assault occasioning bodily harm whilst armed - but not guilty of one charge of attempted murder. 

She is expected to be sentenced later today.
