A woman accused of plotting the murder of her ex-partner by having him fed to a woodchipper has entered its final stages, with a prosecutor describing how the woman “made a choice” between “the money and the man”.
Sharon Graham is on trial at Brisbane Supreme Court charged with the murder of Bruce Saunders on a central Queensland property six years ago.
“It was a choice between the money and the man – and she chose both,” crown prosecutor Todd Fuller KC said.Mr Saunders died after allegedly being dragged into the woodchipper while he was clearing trees at a property in Goomboorian, near Gympie, on November 12, 2017. During his closing statement on Wednesday, Mr Fuller told the jury Ms Graham had a choice to make between two men and two lifestyles at the time of Mr Saunders’ death.
Mr Koenig gave evidence he saw Mr Roser hit Mr Saunders with a metal bar before the pair put him in the machine.
