Australia - Frances Crawford 49, found dead after suspicious lawn mower accident in Queensland.

Maybe have one special nail filed differently to the others, an extra sharp one.
Also don't keep them too short and blunt.

I am seriously wondering if Frances was indeed killed in the ensuite bathroom. I am thinking that he may have chased her through the house. I'm pretty sure that if I was being chased by someone, probably/possibly holding a weapon, I would head for a bathroom. Because in a normal Australian home, in my experience, bathrooms are the only rooms which can be locked (from the inside). IIRC, the mother in the Fall City family massacre was first shot in the bedroom, then in the ensuite. She managed to get into it, but couldn't get it locked in time. I can vaguely recall another example somewhere, I think.
I can picture Frances running for her life through the house, and him catching up with her - hence the injury on the back of her head. I can't think of something suitable that could be snatched up in a bedroom or bathroom, hence I think that whatever the weapon was, he was chasing her through the home with it. MOO

Another example would be Oscar Pistorius, who shot his girlfriend through a locked toilet cubicle door in his home.

Also Pawel Klosowski, who shot his son’s girlfriend through a locked bathroom door in South Australia.


Real heroes!

Oscar Pistorius and the Valentine's killing of Reeva Steenkamp. What happened that night?

Oscar Pistorius, a world-famous double-amputee sprinter who competed on carbon-fiber blades at the 2012 London Olympics, was freed on parole having served nearly nine years in prison for murder.

Well, IMO he tried to wash away all the blood in the bathroom, he mightn't even have got wet.

I was thinking more of the moralty of it, of how a decent innocent person would react.
I wanted to give him the benefit of the "doubt" but in my opinion those are not the actions of an innocent person.
But I could be wrong, it has happened.

I didn’t mean it to be like that, but just so happens these are all crimes against females…….

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Maybe homes need to be made which contain a danger room that women, and children can take shelter in.
Sad isn't it

Seems that Probate has been granted…

I was reading all of it and thinking, who'd fall for him, he is decent-looking but a total moron! And then i thought, of course, probably these were all one-night stands because no one gave him a second chance...except for his wife. Poor Frances.

On the outside, he likely looked like a good package. Top RAAF guy, pilot, used by the RAAF on their website to show what they do, flying all over the place, not spending long enough anywhere for anyone to really get to know him.

You don't get to be a RAAF pilot by being unintelligent. He probably just thought he was smarter than the police.

imo

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I know looks arent't everything but I don't see him as anything resembling good looking.
I don't get the appeal, unless it's the pilot and uniform thing.

But a learning in a sense.... Don't just go into the bathroom... get into the shower away from the door.

He probably knows he lacks a certain look, but his kids said, ' he is a master manipulator'.. what he does is he tells women what they want to hear.... some women .. well. lots maybe, find this fascinating.. he certainly could round 'em up.

However if a room can be locked from inside, a child that does this, may start a fire. I was informed that this happened with a horrid outcome.

There may have been an economic factor. Meals, cash and promises.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

He kind of sounds like he might be a "kept" man in his spare time, away from the job.

"kept" by more than one woman, like a romance scammer.

I may be wrong, it's just what the many women makes me think of.

Oh, he is intelligent no doubt. I didn't mean to insult his IQ. But what's the best term for "a high-achieving blockhead?" And, sane to stand a trial, of course?

These days, young women are self-reliant and will probably see all the red flags rather soon. Frances, a devout Christian, who had three kids with RC, herself a family therapist, probably neglected them for too long.

I do hope that enough women step forward. It is hard; he was meeting them online and sometimes, at work. But this is a guy who strangled his wife and piled a lawnmower on top of her body. Then hastily staged an accident and called the police. Then pretended to be heartbroken; Frances' parents mentioned it in their initial interview. On top of it, he is a bad father. Even if these women once liked him, I hope they side with his wife. He didn't do it out of love to anyone. He did it because he wanted to be free to sleep around without dividing the property. Oh, well, his illustrious career, too.

A bit like Gerard Baden Clay and Toni. But Toni turned on him in court and has paid the price of her liaison with him ever since.

No, no! Don't get into the shower, it's too easy to clean the blood up!
