Accused murderer Aaron Govendir cries as crime scene video aired after wife’s 1998 death
An 83-year-old man accused of murdering his wife broke down crying as a crime scene video was played to a Sydney jury. Aaron Govendir has pleaded not guilty to murdering Denise Govendir at their Dover Heights home in 1998. Prosecutors allege he staged a fake home invasion after she asked for a divorce. His defence lawyer urged jurors to keep open minds and weigh all the evidence. The six-week trial is being heard in the NSW Supreme Court.
