A friend of three of three reportedly murdered by her pilot’s husband of the Air Force – who is subsequently accused of organizing her death as a lawn mower accident – broke her silence on behalf of the children of the victim after he was liberated on bail.

Psychologist Frances Elizabeth Crawford was found dead in their national Upper Lockyer -Uuis, 100 km west of BrisbaneIn the early hours of July 30, 2024.

Squadron leader Robert John Crawford, 47, was arrested about 10 weeks later in October and accused of the murder of his wife and interfering with her corpse.

Mrs. Crawford was found at the foot of a rock wall next to a ride-on grass mower with deadly head and necksels.

The police claim that Crawford strangled his wife and then used her phone to send fake messages before she organized her fatal accident.

He was taken into custody after he was initially charged, but seven months later Justice Frances Williams granted Crawford Bail and Freed Hi on 2 May.

The move that friends and family of Mrs. Crawford has indignant, said her good friend Suzanne Duffy.

“Saying that the family is angry is an understatement,” she said.

‘TThe grandfather of Frances Crawford’s children set up $ 250,000 for the bail of her alleged murderer. ‘

In several reactions online, Mrs Duffy made the decision to allow Crawford to be released in the community prior to his trial.

“The judge of the Supreme Court found the suspect and gave him a bail, after he had spent the bars since October last year, waiting for legal proceedings,” she added.

During the bail request, Saul Holt van Crawford said that there was no convincing evidence to support the claimant’s claim that his client strangled his wife in a state of ‘murderous anger’.

Holt said that the Crawford court came home from his raven Amberley -Basis, played the piano and ate with his wife before they played ‘reading the Bible’ and ‘games’.

Around 8:30 pm, Crawford said they had showered together and then watched television when his wife asked him to move the mower before the sprinklers arrived.

“I told Frances that I would move it later,” he said in his statement.

Crawford says that the last time he saw his wife live alive, while they ‘hug’ on the couch under a heated blanket.

However, Public Prosecutor Chris Cook claimed in court that she was strangled in the bathroom of her house and left her blood and that of her husband.

Mr. Cook told the court Mrs Crawford was carried outside and placed on the site of a ride-on grass Mower accident at the bottom of a retaining wall.

He said that the forensic report strangulation as the cause of death instead of pressure from the steering wheel of the lawn mower.

The persecution claims that Mrs. Crawford’s mobile phone at 11:21 pm sent a message to her husband on the Signal app and with the question: “Hey, are you going to put the mower away quickly?”

Mr. Crawford replied: ‘Yes, just do SDO things still’

He then sent two follow -up reports with the text ‘Give me a second’ and ‘You can simply turn off the sprinklers if it is easier xx’, according to judicial documents.

At 12:28 pm Mr. Crawford sent another signal message to his wife and said, “Hey, I’m done with my revision study -things, I brush teeth and go to bed soon. Are you coming? ‘, According to the documents.

It is said that he sent a follow -up message at 12.30 and said: ‘Hellllooo? XX stop watching Korean Netflix and come to bed haha ​​’.

Mr. Cook claimed that Crawford sent those messages from her phone to herself.

“This gives him a longer time to manipulate the scene because he only calls the police a few hours later,” he told the court.

Crawford called Triple-0 at 3.37 am and said he had discovered his wife’s body, the court was told.

Mr. Cook said that Crawford’s statement about his wife who would move the lawn mower at about an hour was imaginative.

‘This is a middle -aged woman who goes out in the middle of the night without a coat in a very cold winter. Her family said she wouldn’t do that, “said Mr. Cook.

Mr. Cook said that Crawford was a “master manipulator” who had ensured that his wife had sought a protective order from the police because she “felt very unsafe.”

The court also heard that the couple had a difficult relationship after the previous unfaithfulness of Crawford and that his wife was planning to leave him.

The court was told that the three adult children from the couple are alienated from Crawford that they accuse that they are offensive, explosive and violent, and they grew up and ran on eggshells.

Mrs. Duffy now has one Gofundme For the children of the Crawfords who picked up $ 24,447 for his objective of $ 100,000.

“The children of Frances argue for the public to help them by supporting their GoFundme with continuous support for mental health care and other costs to help them restore their young lives, she said.

“The plea for your support is desperate and urgent.”
