Gerard told her police were with him. She knew it wasn't appropriate to keep talking at the time #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 1m
Defence says Gerard told her the next morning the police were aware of the affair. #badenclay

Does anyone know how the police found out about the affair so fast? Was GBC throwing TM under the bus from the beginning.?

Sounds like. Especially with the timing of reconnecting with Toni. Keep her in the picture for this exact reason?

Francene Norton ‏@francenenorton 46s
Ms McHugh asked about last meeting with #badenclay in person in June 2012. Says she had found out about other women. @abcnews


Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 57s
Defence: When you met with Gerard, after that meeting you gave another statement to police? Ms McHugh agrees. #badenclay

Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 59s
Police told mistress Toni McHugh Gerard #badenclay had affairs with other women. She was hurt. "I asked him to explain."

 

[toe]

So, it would appear she was only interested in the other women, and not 'if he killed Allison'.

Ms McHugh agrees that Gerard told her during that meeting she "needed to fall in love with someone else". #badenclay

I dont have a lot of sympathy for TM but I do hope she has a support network there with her today

10:22am: Mr Byrne has referred to the email Mr Baden-Clay sent Ms McHugh in early April 2012 promising he would be separated by July 1

"In retrospect this is him talking the talking with you, but nothing happened," Mr Byrne said.

Ms McHugh reluctantly agreed.

"You're nodding your head," Mr Byrne said.

Ms McHugh sighed loudly and said, "Yes."

No, that's NOT correct. SOMEthing certainly happened! :banghead:

I think GBC told the police about TM very early days after Allison was missing.

Maybe they are trying to discredit any info contained in her fifth statement ' The scorned woman's revenge'.

The fifth statement didn't scratch his face.
