FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Corryn Rayney’s father fought back tears as he recalled telling Corryn’s husband, prominent barrister Lloyd Rayney, he should do “whatever it takes” to keep his family together.
But he said Rayney’s tears over his wife’s disappearance “dried up pretty fast”.
Rayney has pleaded not guilty in the Supreme Court of Western Australia to the wilful murder of his 44-year-old wife.
The former Supreme Court registrar went missing on August 7, 2007 after leaving her weekly bootscooting class.
Ms Rayney’s father, Ernest Da Silva, told the court on Tuesday that after several years of marriage, there was no trust between his daughter and her husband.
He said Rayney had called him early in 2007 and told him he was concerned his wife did not love him any more and he wanted advice about what he should do for the sake of his daughters.
“I said he should do whatever it takes to make sure he continued living there and bringing up those girls,” he said.
Mr Da Silva said he had witnessed Rayney gambling in the mid-1990s and had discussed the issue with his daughter.
He said after years of financial problems and arguments about how to raise their two daughters, Ms Rayney decided in July 2007 that she could not live with her husband any more.
Mr Da Silva said the day after his daughter went missing, he talked to Rayney and asked him if Ms Rayney had returned to their Perth home the night before.
He said Rayney told him he did not know because he had moved to the back room.
Mr Da Silva said when they went to the police station, Rayney avoided eye contact with him and shed a few tears after his interview which “dried up pretty fast”.
Kings Park ranger Jason Rabbitt told the court he had photographed a bollard on August 8 that had been knocked over at a wattle bush track, with tyre marks and an oil trail nearby.
Ms Rayney’s body was found in a grave near the site about a week later.
The court also heard from the father of a man who committed suicide a short time before Ms Rayney went missing.
On August 11, he and his family had found a dinner place card near the grave site with Rayney’s name on one side and “the Queen” written on the back.
The family had been searching for his son’s remains or a suicide note.
The prosecution has alleged the card was used during a game of celebrity heads at a party Rayney attended and was dropped when he buried his wife’s body.
It also alleges Rayney knocked over the bollard when he buried his wife’s body.
The former chief justice of the Northern Territory Supreme Court, Brian Martin, is presiding over the trial without a jury.
Rayney has been granted bail until the conclusion of the prosecution case.
