The young son of Stacey Wright, who is accused of murdering 37-year-old Perth woman Kym Taylor, testifies that his mother turned their vehicle's headlights off because 'police might drive past'.

The young son of an accused murderer has told Western Australia's Supreme Court he and his two siblings were taken on a night-time trip to a forest where he saw his "mum and pop" with a shovel and torches.The court today heard a police interview with Ms Wright's sonThe boy's pre-recorded evidence was played to the court at the trial of his mother, Stacey Wright, who is alleged to have bludgeoned 37-year-old Kym Taylor to death in October 2018.

He was asked to tell the officers about the time he went to the forest, saying he remembered seeing his mother with torches and a shovel. The boy said his mother and grandfather told them they went marroning, "but I don't think they actually did".About a year later, in November 2019, the boy gave recorded evidence before a Supreme Court judge which was also played to the court today.

Mr Percy also described Ms Wright's son's evidence as "uncertain" and "vague in the extreme", saying he may have been referring to another occasion when his father took him marroning.
