Woman tells court about ‘shocking’ conversation she had with teenager, after pair got stranded at a train station in New South Wales

Amber Haigh claimed man accused of her murder would tie her to bed and have sex with her, court hears

Haigh was travelling to Sydney with her young son, still in a pram, and whom Ingram told the supreme court on Monday Haigh “was clearly besotted with”. Ingram said three months later, in June 2002, she saw a news report saying that Haigh was missing, and asking for people with information to come forward.

Before Ingram’s testimony, the court heard legal argument about the admissibility of her and other witnesses’ evidence. Defence counsel argued the probative value of the evidence of Haigh’s disclosures that she was allegedly tied up was outweighed by its prejudice to the Geeves. The prosecution has alleged in court that Haigh – who had an intellectual disability and was described in court as “very easily misled” – was used by the Geeveses as a “surrogate mother” because they wanted another baby.
