He showed no emotion as he was found guilty of murdering his wife.
After a trial by judge alone, Supreme Court Justice David Lovell found him guilty of the murder charge on Friday.
Members of the court visited Veale Gardens where Helen Dansie died in October last year. Picture: Sam Wundke/AAP.Dansie showed no emotion as the verdict was delivered and Justice Lovell revoked his bail.During his trial, the court heard Dansie told police he briefly climbed into the pond after she fell in, but got out in order to call triple-0.
He told an operator he tried to keep Mrs Dansie’s head above water and manoeuvre her to the edge of the pond in an unsuccessful attempt to rescue her. But prosecutors in the case alleged it was “no accident” that Mrs Dansie’s wheelchair ended up in the pond, and that her husband’s story was implausible.
