Ms Darcy is accused of killing Mr Dunbar by sedating him with a cocktail of drugs - blended in a NutriBullet - before gassing him on his sheep property Pandora at Walcha near Tamworth in August 2017.
The alleged murder took place on the property Ms Darcy had been made the sole beneficiary of, after months of asking Mr Dunbar to change his will.

Screenshots of gas tanks on Natasha Darcyâs phone were taken by her partner while he waited for a hospital appointment that would deliver him bad news about his injured leg, the accused murderer told police two days after Mathew Dunbarâs death.
Ms Darcy told detectives she must have left her handbag behind with Mr Dunbar when she went to get coffee while they waited to see his orthopaedic surgeon in Tamworth on the morning of August 1, 2017. She said he often used her phone because he had âproblemsâ with his own.
