2:46pm: Mr Fuller said Allison Baden-Clay's tracksuit top was pulled up over her head, "consistent with her having been dragged".

"She had some possible bruising on her chest and a chip to her tooth," he said.

" ... Those injuries were not consistent with a fall from the bridge."

Fuller: The girls woke the following morning to news from their father that their mother wasn't home. #badenclay

So the children were home that night (according to police case).

Haven't named witnesses only Dr Flegg thus far.

2:46pm Marissa Calligeros: Mr Fuller is now detailing the events in the Baden-Clay household on the day Mrs Baden-Clay disappeared.

He said the Thursday on which Mrs Baden-Clay was last seen was not unlike any other for the Brookfield family: he Baden-Clay's daughters had attended their school's cross-country carnival; Mrs Baden-Clay had been to a meeting at the couple's real estate agency and then to the hairdressers at 4pm; she then had dinner with her friend Kerrie-Anne Walker, while Mr Baden-Clay had dinner with his daughters and his parents and sister.

Once back home later that evening, Mr and Mrs Baden-Clay put their children to bed between 6.30pm and 7pm.

Mr Baden-Clay said he went to bed about 10pm, leaving his wife watching television in their living room.

He told police he woke the next morning on April 20 to find his wife missing.

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 49s

Fuller: You'll hear from three experts who will testify the scratches are more consistent with fingernail scratches. #badenclay

Gottcha!

So: no blood on the razor, Allison's blood confirmed in the car.

Fuller: Police looked at Gerard's financial situation. It was discovered he had a net asset position of $74,000. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 1m

Fuller: There was a text message sent at 6.41am from Gerard to Allison asking where she was. #badenclay


Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 47s

Fuller: Gerard had sourced loans from some of his friends to the tune of $90k each. #badenclay

 

[DrWatson]

Not a lot so far that is new - apart from confirming the girls were at home. So their evidence will be significant.

But what was the bit about Olivia coming to the house "for the sleepover"? That was supposed to be "the next night" I think - the night AFTER Allison's death?

Fuller: Gerard was unable to make interest payment on his loans. He had approached Dr Flegg for a $400k loan. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 50s

Fuller: Gerard was crying, said Dr Flegg was his last hope. He was going to go broke. #badenclay
