GUILTY Australia - Mathew Dunbar, 42, suspicious death, Walcha, NSW, 2 Aug 2017 *Arrest*

[they'll get you]

Mr Dunbar had several suicide risk factors, such a being a man from a rural area who worked in the agricultural sector with a history of depression.

The most drastic factor, the court was told, was that Mr Dunbar had been discharged from the Banksia House psychiatric hospital in the preceding months.

‘Former friend’. I wonder what was the falling out over?

 

[ThaiBali]

Whew! I was concerned this may end up a Casey Anthony (another piece of work) verdict. But, the $20,000 letter from a former friend seems to have turned it around for me.

Murder accused dismissed farmer's suicide threat

Warning: This article contains details and homophobic terms that may cause distress
When grazier Mathew Dunbar threatened to take his own life his partner took no action, later telling police she thought he was just "having one of his poofter hissy fits".
Five days later, Natasha Beth Darcy claims Mr Dunbar took an overdose of his medication before writing a text to her at 11.21pm on June 20 stating: "I'm sorry beautiful lady for everything I've put you through - you deserve better than this."

Ms Darcy never called for help following the purported suicide attempt.

The next day two local police officers - who turned up at Mr Dunbar's sheep property unannounced - found Mr Dunbar unsteady on his feet and unable to talk; allegedly affected by something.
In his closing address to the jury, Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield argued Ms Darcy was behind - what she claimed - was a second suicide attempt by Mr Dunbar.
Mr Hatfield also told the NSW Supreme Court jury Ms Darcy's "nasty and callous" comments about Mr Dunbar having a "poofter hissy fit" indicated how "completely unconcerned with his welfare" she was.

Ms Darcy Googled,
how to commit murder
how to commit murder

• Murder by stroke
• Murder by inducing heart attack
• 99 undetectable poisons

"We say again these searches are indicative of a person interested in the murder of someone," Mr Hatfield said.
'[There is] no reason why a person is going to be looking at '99 undetectable poisons' in relation to their own suicide, none at all.
She intended throughout this period to murder the deceased.

The jury were also reminded of the evidence given by a law student who said she sold $100 worth of antipsychotic drugs - Paliperidone and Seroquel - to Ms Darcy in the lead up to Mr Dunbar's death.

Abuse from an intimate partner is a huge risk factor for mental health problems. I think, from her revolting comment about the hissy fit, we can comfortably assume that Mr Dunbar was being emotionally abused within that relationship.

its hard to believe this is the same person.




The face(s) of Domestic violence.
I feel so sorry for Matthew.

 

[Kemug]

Googling for "99 undetectable poisons" - someone who was about to commit suicide wouldn't bother to do that, would they. They might be looking for quick and painless, but they wouldn't care about undetectable, especially if they were planning to leave a note.

I don't think ( well I hope ) the jury are not going to have a difficult time with this one

Missed calls during ‘murder’ research: court

Natasha Darcy ignored two calls from her partner Mathew Dunbar as she researched how to kill him online, dialling a Supagas store to order her murder weapon one minute later, a jury has been told.

Prosecutor Brett Hatfield painted a picture of what the crown alleges Ms Darcy, 46, was doing on the afternoon of July 31, 2017, as he delivered his closing address to the jury on Thursday in the NSW Supreme Court.

• 12.12pm someone googled “helium gas tamworth” on the Mac computer in the house
  
• 12.13pm and 12.14pm, phone records show missed calls from Mr Dunbar to Ms Darcy
• 12.15pm a call was made from the house landline to Supagas. The employee who took the call had a “clear recollection of the request being specially for high purity helium and it being a female caller”

 

[Kemug]

The prosecution has wrapped up its case, and the case for the defence has begun. I really don't know how they're going to explain away the letter she wrote to an old school friend (whom she hadn't seen for decades) offering her $20,000 to lie for her.

 

[they'll get you]

The court has also heard her DNA was found on a copy of the will and that Mr Dunbar had sent her a text which read, "Rang solicitor and organised will change...I love you so much beautiful."
But Ms Darcy denied knowing she stood to inherit everything when questioned by police.

Natasha Darcy tried to ‘charm police’ in interview 12 hours after partner’s death, jury told
A woman accused of murdering her boyfriend after spiking his Nutribullet smoothie with sedatives giggled to police, a court has heard.

Mr Hatfield told jurors Ms Darcy had a “callous” attitude towards Mr Dunbar, exhibited by a comment to police that the 42-year-old sheep farmer was an “attention seeker” having “one of his poofter hissy fits” after he threatened suicide.

Her derisive remarks continued after his death, Mr Hatfield argued as he reminded the jury of Ms Darcy’s quip that Mr Dunbar’s love of shopping “must be the gay in him”.

“You might think that shows how completely shallow emotionally the accused is, completely lacking in any empathy,” Mr Hatfield said.

“Her partner just died less than 12 hours before and she’s talking about him in those terms.”

Mr Hatfield said there was “no evidence at all” to support Ms Darcy’s assertion that Mr Dunbar had seen a sex counsellor in Sydney in a bid to change his sexual orientation from gay to straight


Sooooooooo many lies Natasha

So she offered $20,000 first than apologised if $20,000 was not enough & offered " as much as you need " with the end of the second letter saying
“This reminds me of a funny saying which I can’t remember word for word but it was something like if you’re ever in trouble I won’t be there to support you because I’ll be next to you helping you hide the body.” "lol"

The crown prosecutor told the jury: “That is a joke about getting away with murder. Written by someone on remand for murder, writing to somebody offering money to lie to help them get off a murder charge.”

She's really not that smart

Natasha Darcy ‘exploited’ Mathew Dunbar’s depression to make murder ‘look like suicide’, court told

He said Mr Dunbar’s psychiatrist, the only psychiatric expert at the trial who spoke to the deceased, formed the opinion that, while Mr Dunbar did have depression, it only arose in reaction to the situation he found himself in living with Ms Darcy.

The psychiatrist, Clive Stanton, told the court Mr Dunbar told him he had begun to worry about his finances for the first time in his life after Ms Darcy moved in with her three children, and their relationship had “deteriorated” with Ms Darcy making “cruel comments that played on his mind”.

He told Dr Stanton he felt “emotionally manipulated” by Ms Darcy, who accused him of cheating and asked him “if the rafters in the shed were high enough for him to hang himself”, Mr Hatfield said.

Poor man.

How was this women was still able to be out freely to plot her murderous plans on Mathew after attempting to murder her ex Colin Crossman??

Back in January 2009 Darcy had asked Mr Crossman how hard a person would have to be stuck in the area of the temple to cause damage , than @ 4am she hit him in the head with a hammer, blamed an intruder, than admitted what she had done , than 3 days later she served Crossman a meal of Tacos while he was watching the cricket , the last thing Crossman remembered before waking from a sedated sleep, was to his bedroom on fire!

At 4am Darcy had poured petrol on the bedroom floor wher Crossman was sleeping & set it alight before running from the house with her son....

A month earlier Darcy had applied for life insurance worth $700,000 to be paid to her upon the death of Mr Crossman.


Why Crossman still had anything to do with Darcy boggles my mind
