He is also alleged to have attacked a woman in her Huntingdale home in 1988 and abducted and sexually assaulted a teenager at Karrakatta cemetery in February 1995.
The identities of Mr Edwards's two former wives had already been suppressed and prosecutor Tara Payne said the state now wanted the identity of the man who conducted the affair suppressed as well. She said they wanted to"protect the child" who was born out of the affair and was now in their 20s, but who was"an entirely innocent party" in the case.The state wanted to call evidence from the first wife to support an argument that Mr Edwards committed the alleged offences at times of"emotional turmoil and upset" in his life when his"relationships were in decline".
Pre-trial hearings have been told that around mid-1995, Mr Edwards's first wife started a relationship with the man, who had been living with them, and that she then moved out in early 1996. That timing is crucial because Mr Edwards is accused of abducting and sexually assaulting a teenage girl at Karrakatta cemetery in February 1995, and then abducting and murdering Ms Spiers in January 1996.
