Stuart Anderson, 41, said he had first met Vicki Ramadan in early 2019 when she knocked on his door to ask for help to measure up her back fence for repairs. They developed a working relationship and said he began visiting her to carry out odd jobs.But on Tuesday, a Supreme Court jury was told that in the months following her death, Anderson told police and a television news reporter lies including about when and how he found her body.
During the first day of Anderson’s murder trial on Tuesday, the jury was shown a video recording of an interview he did with Channel Nine reporter Sam Cucchiara in the street near his Sydenham home on April 16, 2019.During the interview, he told the reporter Ramadan was a “very polite old lady” who he’d done odd jobs for.
“I really hope to God the cops catch this son of a bitch, I really do. She did not deserve this at all. It haunts me a little bit, I won’t lie. This whole community is in fear now.”Crown prosecutor Neill Hutton said other lies investigators had since uncovered included stories that Anderson had travelled to Bunnings with Ramadan to purchase items for her home, including a flat-pack wardrobe in late March, and also travelled to Maffra for work as a traffic controller around the time of her death.
Defence barrister Glenn Casement said his client was an innocent man who was regretful about not telling the whole truth to police from the beginning.
