Yes, I think the engagement clipping is very important! Particularly as it is connected to his Frederick De Hedevary name, which is his family name in Australia - the one he used for marrying Diane and having kids. He was clearly married at the time, so the they will argue that it's proof he intentionally misled a woman for financial gain. The clipping is a godsend of evidence! It's not just a he said/she said argument. Tomorrow will be interesting if his daughter is a witness. She is so brave!

IMHO - I think he was cooked today for further investigations for the police to prosecute him for what???? I'm not sure what the exact chargers are, or alleged prosecutions maybe, but, they are adding to the 'tendency' evidence and more cause for perjury investigations.

This man has not waivered in his 'style' of giving evidence under oath. It is based on lies, lies and more lies. He continued to throw these brave and courageous women under the bus. He kept saying that HE was the only one who is telling the truth. He used, and continues to use, misogynistic and narcissistic traits throughout his evidence. My fingers are crossed the SL gets her answers, and this man is held accountable.
 
One thing that frustrates me is the endless going around in circles with the same questions we’ve heard many times before. I would try and change tack a bit. Delve into his personal life. Do you gamble? Do you like horse racing? Have you ever taken drugs? Have you been to a casino? Have you ever owned shares? Have you ever been to Hungary? Why do you have so many relationships outside of your marriage? Etc etc.
 
With everything we've seen so far during 15 days of an inquest, it's clear he has a pattern of defrauding women, he admits to a relationship with Marion, and he admits to fraudulently using the FNM Remakel name.

So I think the Coroner has enough to say RB was definitely involved with Marion before her disappearance, and likely in a similar fraud-minded way he was involved with the others, and he was likely the reason Marion suddenly uprooted her life, sold her house and withdrew her money.

What's difficult to prove is when and how MB perished.
All the witnesses (we know of) are still alive, and he either left them stranded or disappeared, so it's going to be hard to suggest he changed his pattern for Marion.

Unless they have a few aces up their sleeve for tomorrow... can they show he's capable of taking a life?

Either way, it can be said he was likely the LAST person to see Marion alive and that's got to count for something, right?
