Robert and Anne Geeves face one count each of murder over her suspected killing.used the intellectually disabled teenager Amber Michelle Haigh as a “surrogate mother” so they could have another baby, before they killed her, a court has heard.

‘I lost a part of myself’: hope for answers as Amber Haigh murder trial begins 22 years after she disappearedThe court heard on Friday morning Haigh was an intellectually disabled teenager from Sydney who had endured a “dysfunctional upbringing” and who had moved to the Kingsvale area to live with her great aunt in the late 1990s. That aunt lived next door to the Geeves’ then property, Huntleigh, and Haigh later moved in with the Geeves.

The Geeves reported Haigh missing on 19 June 2002. A coroner ruled she had died from “homicide or misadventure” sometime in 2002. Her body has never been found. “When it became apparent that choosing their desired outcome would be more difficult than they first thought, the Geeves realised that a more fundamental, more fundamental action was needed. So, the crown asserts, they killed her.”Robert and Anne Geeves lived a property on Huntleigh Road, in Kingsvale, at the time of Amber Haigh’s disappearance.The crown case, Kerr conceded, was “largely if not completely circumstantial in nature”.

Michael King, acting for Anne Geeves, said his client had “no motive to kill Amber, or even wish her dead”.She did not kill Haigh and nor did she stand by as her husband killed her, King said, and to her knowledge “Robert Geeves did not kill her”.
