Ms Darcy’s barrister acknowledged she had told “lots and lots of lies” but said she may have had reasons aside from being guilty of her partner’s murder.
Twelve things defence relies on in murder trial of widow Natasha Beth Darcy
There is no question Natasha Beth Darcy told lots and lots of lies to police following the death of her partner, grazier Mathew Dunbar, her defence barrister has told a jury.
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.
