A few quotes from the defence's opening statement a really bad husband but not a murderer.
"A court has heard that while a man accused of killing his wife admits he was "playing around with other women and at times violent", that did not make him guilty of murder."
Roxlyn "was 31 years old and left their two young children behind, then aged six and almost two. Her body has never been found."
"We're not saying he's a perfect fellow in relation to his adultery and behaviour to his wife," he said.
"Sadly, you may know from your own experience … that people behave appallingly in domestic relationships, but that's a long way from murder."
