A pregnant Amber Haigh said she needed to make a will because the father of her baby had threatened he would “end her life” after she gave birth, a court has heard.

Giving evidence in the supreme court on Tuesday, a former paralegal said Haigh told her she needed a will to stop the father of her child taking custody of the baby, instead nominating her aunt to take the child.
