That was in relation to making a claim on his death insurance.

The situation with the house was talked about multiple times throughout the trial.

We heard Tara and Jonathan...

owned the house.

Marie didn't have any claim to it.

She wasn't on the title.

So although this wasn't put forward as a key motivation for this alleged murder, it was definitely suggested by the prosecution that Marie was going to be able to benefit from the fact that he was no longer going to be around.

It was actually barely touched on at first.

It was introduced when the prosecution called its final witness, who was a detective.

He was being asked about the things he found in the house during a search.

So there was a number of photographs that were shown to the jury.

We saw receipts.

There was a bus ticket, I think some fast food packaging.

Then right at the bottom, underneath some rotting fruit scraps, the detective said that he found this note.

So the prosecution labelled it

writing on a piece of paper.

That's how it was put to the jury.
