A top prosecutor told Chris Dawson’s murder appeal the convicted wife killer appeared to show a “complete lack of sentiment towards his own children”.
A top prosecutor has told Chris Dawson’s murder appeal that the convicted wife killer appeared to show a “complete lack of sentiment” towards his young daughters when he refused to look at portraits of the pair commissioned by his wife.
Deputy Senior Crown Prosecutor Brett Hatfield, SC, appearing for the Crown, took the court on Wednesday to evidence at Dawson’s 2022 trial that a local artist, Kristin Hardiman, had been commissioned by Lynette in December 1981 to produce sketches of the couple’s daughters. Court of Appeal President Julie Ward, who is hearing the appeal with Justices Anthony Payne and Christine Adamson, said: “What seems to me to be odd is how he knows that she doesn’t want any more.”“This is at a stage where he’s telling people he thinks she’s coming back,” Ward said.
Hatfield told the court that Peter Dawson replied: “I don’t remember any specific conversation with Chris about it. The general conversation was that Lyn had left.”Asked during the trial what questions, if any, he had asked Chris about that, Peter Dawson replied: “I don’t remember asking him any questions about that.”
