FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Prominent Perth barrister Lloyd Rayney went on a working holiday in Bali with his wife Corryn and mining billionaire Gina Rinehart four months before he allegedly murdered his wife, a court has been told.
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, and her body was found on August 15.
Hancock Prospecting information manager Richard Mark Bickerton told the court on Friday that he accompanied the Rayneys and Ms Rinehart on a flight to Bali on April 5, 2007.
The group took a chartered flight from Perth to Broome and then went on to Bali, where they stayed in the luxurious Bvlgari hotel at Uluwatu.
Mr Bickerton said Rayney was doing a “considerable amount” of legal work for Ms Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting at the time and the Bali trip was for a civil legal case and for pleasure.
The court was shown a video of Ms Rayney bootscooting at the Bentley Community Hall a week before she died, while her dance teacher, Glenn Dale, gave evidence.
Mr Dale appeared visibly upset and wiped away tears while the video was played.
He demonstrated some steps and said damage found on Ms Rayney’s boots could not have been caused by bootscooting, because it was too severe and on the outside edge of the boot.
He said scrapes caused by bootscooting would be on the inside edge.
The prosecution alleges Ms Rayney’s boots were damaged when her husband dragged her body across their front yard to her car.
Mr Dale said he last saw Ms Rayney when he waved goodbye to her after the class, but he could not recall if she was wearing or carrying a coat.
The prosecution alleges Ms Rayney took a coat with her to the class which was found at the end of her bed after she went missing.
Ms Rayney’s friend, Eva Bosnyak, who also attended the dance class, said before the lesson on August 7 she had a feeling she was being watched from outside the hall.
Ms Bosnyak said she did not see anyone, but there had been problems with people breaking into cars outside the hall prior to Ms Rayney’s disappearance.
She also identified a red corduroy jacket and a black coat with fur edges that Ms Rayney used to wear.
Ms Bosnyak said Ms Rayney was not wearing a jacket that night, but may have been carrying one.
Fellow bootscooter Hildegarde Kennedy said she recalled Ms Rayney wearing a black coat, but under cross-examination she conceded she may have confused it with another occasion.
The judge-alone trial before the former chief justice of the Northern Territory Supreme Court, Brian Martin, is continuing.
