Overview

• The bail application resumed Thursday in Brisbane Supreme Court and is scheduled to continue on August 6.
• Defence counsel argued the prosecution’s evidence is purely circumstantial, citing minor bruises consistent with CPR and a claim that rats destroyed their life jackets.
• Prosecutors intend to rely on a friend’s statement that Davidson joked in 2017 he’d “kill her and move to Thailand too” and on testimony about divorce discussions after an affair was uncovered.
• Investigators point to a potential financial motive, highlighting Davidson’s insurance claims totaling over $1 million and CCTV footage of him burning documents post-drowning.
• Justice Tom Sullivan will decide on bail next week following the Crown’s opposition and disputes over the admissibility of key evidence.
