SA woman admits seeking hitman

An Adelaide woman has pleaded guilty to trying to solicit a hitman to murder her estranged husband earlier this year.

An Adelaide woman has admitted trying to hire a hitman to murder her estranged husband.

Doris Ann Brundritt, 44, from Glanville in the city's north-west, pleaded guilty in the District Court on Monday to one count of solicit to murder between January 14 and 17, 2014 at Cheltenham and other places.

The court was told the Director of Public Prosecutions is considering whether to proceed with a second solicit charge, said to have occurred in 2010.

At an earlier court hearing, Brundritt lost a bid to have her name suppressed on the basis it would cause extreme distress for the couple's three young children.

Brundritt was remanded in custody to return to the District Court on July 28.
