Lloyd Rayney, Part 1: The trial

It’s a case that rocked WA’s legal community and etched itself into the State’s memory. A toxic marriage on the rocks, allegations of phone tapping, gambling, cheating and murder. Multiple court cases. A family in pieces. On the evening of August 7, 2007, Corryn Rayney, a Supreme Court registrar and mother of two, went boot scooting. She was never seen again. A week later after a tip from the public, her body was discovered buried in Kings Park. Rumours spread like wildfire through Perth. Her husband, prominent lawyer Lloyd Rayney became the police’s number one suspect. Their “prime suspect” as Detective Jack Lee told the media. It took a year before he was charged with her murder. What happened next, was truly astonishing. Former British Detective Superintendent Robin Napper joins host Tim Clarke to cut through the case of the State of Western Australia vs Lloyd Patrick Rayney.
