The 67-year-old teacher had just moved into a new rental home in Melbourne’s north. She was looking for a flatmate to share the house and was due to start a new job teaching English. But less than two months after starting her new chapter, Brennan’s life was “callously” cut short when her new housemate, Stephen Fleming, killed her and dumped her body in the neighbour’s green waste bin on July 1, 2024. Stephen Fleming has pleaded guilty to killing a 67-year-old English teacher last year. Credit: AAPBrennan’s body was found by staff working at an Epping recycling facility two days later.
