What did he think that he was going to rob her of. Just the few notes in her purse? She had been food shopping. She would not have much in her purse.

So sad for Donna's family. Her children don't have their mum anymore, just because he needed money... Can't believe he is pleading not guilty‘Video of an accused murderer admitting he dumped a woman's body in a crocodile-infested river has been played to a Supreme Court jury in Cairns in Far North Queensland.
Key points:
Matthew Ross White, who turns 27 today, pleaded not guilty to the murder of 42-year-old Donna Steele, in Cooktown in 2017.’
- Matthew White told police he hid in Ms Steele's room and choked her until she "stopped moving"
- In a later police interview, he admitted he "dumped her body" in a crocodile-infested river
- Mr White's mother blew him a kiss and wished him happy birthday after she gave evidence
