It was unlikely Telstra technician Bradley Edwards murdered 27- year-old legal representative Ciara Glennon because he would not have picked a night when he was anticipated to join pals at their holiday home, and his absence would have been noticed, the WA Supreme Court has heard.
Key points:
- The trial, which began last November, is expect to finish up this week
- Ms Glennon’s body was discovered north of Perth three weeks after she vanished
- The defence says no single piece of evidence links Edwards to her murder
Edwards, 51, is charged with 3 counts of wilful murder– of 18- year-old Sarah Spiers in January 1996, of 23- year-old Jane Rimmer in June the same year, and of Ms Glennon in March 1997.
All 3 females had been socialising in Claremont on the nights they vanished, but only the bodies of Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon have ever been discovered.
Defence counsel Paul Yovich SC is continuing his last submissions in the trial, focusing on the disappearance of Ms Glennon, who at least 14 witnesses claim to have seen on the streets of Claremont after she left the Continental Hotel quickly before midnight on March 14, 1997.
