Shortly after 8 a.m. on 19 February 1951, Jean Lee, an attractive, red-haired, 31-year-old woman was hanged at Melbourne's Pentridge Prison. She had been sedated and was held upright on a chair before being plunged to her death. Jean Lee was the last woman hanged in Australia. She and her lover Robert Clayton and their friend Norman Andrews had been found guilty of the murder of 73 year old SP bookmaker Pop Kent at Carlton in 1949.
