Money was tight for the young married couple and the man's contribution to the mortgage came in handy. They had shared a three-bedroom villa in suburban Noranda, but the boyfriend moved out and some months later Edwards moved in. The man moved into the Huntingdale home she shared with Edwards and became their boarder, which was a "helpful arrangement" for all three parties, Edwards's counsel Paul Yovich SC said.
Ms Barbagallo is now asking him about what he was doing on Australia Day, 1996 - the night Sarah disappeared. Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Who is Bradley Robert Edwards?
"It sort of looked like a Toyota Camry to me.". In one of the club’s newsletters he was teased, like other players, for on-field and off-field shenanigans. The Claremont serial killings trial examines Bradley Edwards's personal life through his ex-wife By Andrea Mayes. She and Edwards had got together during an event known as the Sandhurst Run in WA's north, a rock concert held over a weekend, and she had immediately ended her relationship with her previous boyfriend. In 1995, Edwards has admitted brutally raping a 17-year-old girl he abducted from Claremont and assaulted in Karrakatta Cemetery.
Edwards's ex-wife was not questioned further about what she referred to as "the Hollywood Hospital incident", other than it had meant he did not pick her up from work as usual that day and she was forced to take the bus home. ', and there was no response and I just turned around and walked west towards Fremantle way," she said. The estranged spouses had little contact after that, despite their shared dogs, shared ownership and mortgage on the house in Huntingdale and a shared loan on a car. She said Edwards did not become angry or in any way emotional, he merely questioned whether the child could be his. They had shared a three-bedroom villa in suburban Noranda, but the boyfriend moved out and some months later Edwards moved in.
He said there were no people or vehicles at the intersection when he was stationary at its red light looking for the fare. It was an important conversation — she was calling him to tell him she was pregnant by another man. A rare moment of conversation between the pair came in May or June of 1996, although the ex-wife appeared uncertain of exactly when it took place. She said she would usually get a taxi home from the venue but on this occasion noticed a Telstra vehicle doing laps of the area. At 21, Mr Edwards had moved in with his girlfriend and future first wife in Noranda.
Ms Bushell said she provided a statement to police in March 2017 about the encounter with the Telstra vehicle - four months after Mr Edwards' arrest. Mr Yovich is now cross-examining Mr Krupnik. Her original statement was taken by police in June 1997 - three months after Ciara Glennon disappeared. Mr Edwards is also defending five other charges for alleged prior offences: deprivation of liberty and breaking and entering a dwelling in Huntingdale in February 1988, plus deprivation of liberty and two counts of sexual penetration without consent in February 1995 at Karrakatta. "I guess it was a bigger night than most, it was a pretty big night,' she said. "He wasn't interested, wasn't present in the marriage," she said.
It is the prosecution's case that Edwards murdered Sarah Spiers, 18, Jane Rimmer, 23 and Ciara Glennon, 27, after abducting them from the streets of upmarket Claremont after they had each spent happy evenings socialising with friends. She has long blonde hair and is wearing a grey, loose top. Mr Yovich pointed out in her original 1997 statement, Ms Bushell estimated the driver was 35 to 40 years old. When asked if Mr Edwards ever had any facial hair, the first wife said he had a beard at one point for a few months. "I was asking questions of whether we were going to think about getting married or if marriage was on the cards for us," she said.
