Former RAAF pilot Robert Crawford accused of murdering wife as court hears about alleged STD lie

Former RAAF squadron leader Robert Crawford has pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife, Frances Crawford, at their Upper Lockyer property near Toowoomba in July 2024. Crown prosecutor Chris Cook alleges he strangled her and staged her body to look like an accident. Defence barrister Saul Holt KC told the Brisbane Supreme Court jury that no one murdered her. Admissions tendered in court confirm Mr Crawford had about 20 years of affairs and had asked about cancelling his wife's $873,000 life insurance policy. The trial continues.

Robert Crawford’s married life unravels during murder trial as Brisbane jury hears bombshell claims

A Brisbane jury has heard the prosecution allege that Robert John Crawford staged the scene where his wife, Frances Elizabeth Crawford, was found dead in July 2024, to cover up her murder. Crawford has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege the couple's marriage was over, and that he stood to gain financially from his wife's death through a large property, life insurance and her will. Defence counsel described the case as circumstantial. The trial before Justice Lincoln Crowley is set to run for about three weeks and resumes on Thursday.

Can a relationship survive infidelity? Sydney therapist explains when couples can rebuild trust

She says some couples can recover when both partners address the betrayal and rebuild trust. Abdollahian cautions that reconciliation is not right for every relationship, particularly where there is repeated infidelity without remorse. Where domestic violence or coercive control is present, she says safety must come first and couples therapy is not the right starting point.
