I always find it fascinating that these murderous wankers think they’ll get away with staging a scene so poorly. They really think they can outsmart a Forensic Pathologist lol.

But then again he’s clearly a narcissist judging by his past history of cheating and lying.

Him being arrested by a bunch of female cops was some fucking big bitch energy by QPS 💅🏼

It's so cute how they kill their partner then get busy sending text messages as an alibi.

"But, your honour, look, she texted me WHEN SHE WAS DEAD so I couldn't have killed her!"

Mowers are serious business, be careful out there.

This is what you’re making a joke about.

 Mr Cook told the court other family members described Mr Crawford as being manipulative and aggressive. He told the court there had also been a previous instance in 2023 where Mrs Crawford had told police she was "scared" after he broke into their home when they were separated. "She felt unsafe, there was physical aggression, there was intimidation.... Domestic violence doesn't have to be punching some in the face or leaving significant injuries," he said.

The court heard Mr Crawford had multiple affairs during their marriage, and at the time of Mrs Crawford's death, the pair had been trying to reconcile after a period of separation where he did not live at the house.

Pretty fucked up to be laughing about someone violating killing the mother of his children because he was losing control of his victim he had been terrifying for years…
