Overview

• On day two of the Perth District Court trial, Kirsten Moiler testified that hours before the June 2023 incident she sought an emergency violence restraining order but was told to return after the long weekend.
• She told the jury Peter Moiler threw a star picket into her car, sprayed her with an accelerant and ignited it with a lighter, describing pain that felt like her skin was being ripped off.
• Prosecutors played CCTV audio in which a woman screams for help and a man is heard saying, "what the f--- happened?", and they allege Moiler delayed calling emergency services after neighbors raised the alarm.
• Medical evidence presented to the court states she suffered partial and full-thickness burns to 38% of her body and was airlifted to Fiona Stanley Hospital for surgery.
• The 44-year-old has pleaded not guilty to aggravated grievous bodily harm, maintains his wife injured herself, and the defense points to a turbulent, drug-affected relationship as context as the multi-week trial continues.
