The Trial's Conclusion and Key Arguments

The trial of Robert and Anne Jeeves for the murder of Amber Haig has concluded after eight weeks of evidence presented in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. The Crown's closing submissions argued that Amber Haig, who disappeared in June 2002, was murdered by the Jeeves as they sought to keep her infant son, whom they desired to adopt. The prosecutor detailed the couples' manipulative relationship with Haig, asserting they viewed her as a liability who needed to be eliminated to secure their parental desires. Significant focus was placed on their lengthy delay in reporting her missing, suggesting they were aware of her fate and indicating their involvement in her disappearance.
