Chris Dawson's former student and babysitter has insisted the former Sydney rugby league player told her his wife was never coming back after she disappeared.
The woman, known only as JC, told the NSW Supreme Court on Friday Dawson, 73, who is accused of murdering his wife, Lynette, begged her to move into his house in early January 1982 because his wife had gone off with a religious sect and he needed her help to look after the couple's two children.
Asked by defence barrister Pauline David if Dawson had made it clear to her that if his wife returned home, she would have to leave, JC replied: "Absolutely did not."
