Outrage as murderer is allowed Ozempic and plastic surgery - on the taxpayer's dime - while 'overeating' on 'lollies, chips and chocolate'

By AIDAN WONDRACZ, ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR, AUSTRALIA Published: 05:31, 16 July 2026 | Updated: 05:34, 16 July 2026 A convicted murderer has been given permission to receive taxpayer-funded Ozempic jabs and plastic surgery while in prison. Alicia Schiller is serving 16 years after killing housemate and mother-of-three Tyrelle Evertsen-Mostert, 31, in a drug-fuelled rage in Geelong, Victoria, on November 9, 2014. Schiller has been given Ozempic by her prison doctor after gaining weight while behind bars, and has undergone eyelid surgery to remove excess skin. The revelation comes less than two years after it was revealed she had been approved to receive IVF treatment. Prison sources told The Herald Sun that Schiller had turned her prison cell into a 'candy shop' and frequently ate 'lollies, chips, chocolate and soft drinks'. 'Alicia gets all the young girls to buy her junk food too,' they said. 'The girls are too scared not to.'  Tyrelle's mother Jo Evertsen-Mostert slammed news that Schiller had been given access to weight loss drugs. A convicted murderer (pictured, Alicia Schiller) has been given permission to receive taxpayer-funded Ozempic jabs and plastic surgery while in prison 'Why bother giving her Ozempic? She's got to get off that stuff on her own,' she said. 'That's a waste of taxpayers' money. That's absolutely ridiculous. 'If she wants Ozempic, ban her from all her sweets. Do that first for a year and see how she goes. 'She was big when she went in, she can be big when she comes out.' Opposition corrections spokesman Brad Battin questioned why a 'convicted killer who chooses to overeat' should get access to Ozempic.  'What is wrong with the Allan Labor government when people in prison can access elective treatment, while law-abiding Victorians are waiting years for care they actually need?' he said. 'How about prescribing diet and exercise instead? A bit of common sense should apply here — I think most Victorians agree that this doesn't pass the pub test.' Minister Nick Staikos defended the use of weight loss injections for prisoners, saying they were used to prevent serious illness.  Alicia Schiller is serving 16 years after killing housemate and mother-of-three Tyrelle Evertsen-Mostert, 31 (pictured), in a drug-fuelled rage in Geelong, Victoria, on November 9, 2014 'I'm not generally someone who has sympathy for people who commit terrible crimes, but what I would say is this: these are decisions made by clinicians,' he said. 'Prevention and preventing serious illness, actually will save the taxpayer in the long run.' At her murder trial, the court heard Schiller had shown off a collection of box cutters, steak knives and pocket knives before the deadly attack. She said she would 'gut' anyone who took money from her, the court was told, but Ms Evertson-Mostert was said to have borrowed $50 from her housemate's room. 'I don't care if she took it or not, I'll gut her,' Schiller said before the attack, the court heard. Her victim's four-year-old son was in the house when his mother was murdered, and still lives with the horror he witnessed. 'It's something that's never going to leave him,' added Ms Gentle. 'To see something so brutal right in front of your eyes. 'And it's your own mother. It's just unbelievable - I don't know what someone could be thinking. I don't know how someone could be so callous to do such a thing.'
