A committal hearing is told Adrian James Basham was a controlling, manipulative husband to Ms Fraser before they separated in early 2017, less than two years before the mother-of-three's death at her home on Phillip Island.

"For example, if you wore your shoes inside he was very obsessive-compulsive about that. He would take them off your feet and take them outside. Everything needed to be a certain way," Mr Henderson said.

Mr Henderson said Ms Fraser had started a new relationship with a man whom he met the day before she died.Ms Fraser's friend, Nadine Leed, told the hearing Mr Basham was a fly-in, fly-out worker who would spend up to five weeks away on Barrow Island in Western Australia. She said Ms Fraser's stress levels would increase in the days leading up to his return from shifts away.

"If he was due to come home on a Thursday I knew her stress levels would start rising on Tuesday," Ms Leed told the court. "She was in a panicked state, she said we couldn't catch up because she had to vacuum the car to make sure not a single grain of sand was in the car and to make sure not a single thing was out of place."Ms Leed told the committal hearing Ms Fraser kept a diary detailing her appointments, the people she'd meet and even when she had her period.
