昆士兰州一名49岁的前澳大利亚皇家空军飞行员罗伯特·约翰·克劳福德（Robert John Crawford）因涉嫌于2024年7月29日在托沃姆巴以西的上洛克耶（Upper Lockyer）农村房产处杀害其妻子弗朗西丝·伊丽莎白·克劳福德（Frances Elizabeth Crawford），目前正接受审判1。尸体被发现时位于该房产底部挡土墙附近，旁边有一台乘坐式割草机，检方指控死因为绞杀或钝力创伤1。被告对谋杀罪名不认罪，案件正在布里斯班最高法院审理，预计庭审将持续三周，期间将传唤最多47名证人1。
检控官克里斯·库克（Chris Cook）在陈述中将被告描述为“作弊者、通奸者、花花公子、浪子和色狼”，并称其为“操纵大师”1。检方提出的作案动机是被告希望在离婚诉讼中避免经济损失，意图保留房屋及养老金，因此在谋杀后试图伪造妻子的死亡现场以掩盖真相1。陪审团计划将于周三前往案发地点进行实地考察1。
Former Royal Australian Air Force pilot Robert John Crawford, 49, is standing trial for the alleged murder of his wife, Frances Elizabeth Crawford, at their rural property in Upper Lockyer, Queensland, west of Toowoomba 1. Prosecutors allege that on July 29, 2024, Crawford strangled his wife or inflicted blunt force trauma, leaving her body near a ride-on mower by a retaining wall at the bottom of their home 1. The Crown contends that Crawford staged the death as an accident to avoid financial loss during divorce proceedings and to retain ownership of the house and pension 1.
Opening arguments described Crawford as a "cheat, adulterer, love rat, prodigal son and sex pest," characterizing him as a master manipulator 1. The case is being heard at the Brisbane Supreme Court, with the jury scheduled to visit the crime scene on Wednesday 1. The trial is expected to last three weeks and will feature testimony from up to 47 witnesses 1.
