Adelaide man Peter Rex Dansie has been sentenced to life in prison, with a non-parole period of 25 years, for murdering his wife in Adelaide's parklands in 2017.Her husband was found guilty of murdering her by pushing her wheelchair into the waterDansie, 71, drowned his 67-year-old wife Helen Dansie by pushing her wheelchair into a pond at Veale Gardens in Adelaide.
Justice David Lovell established a"dual motive" for the murder — a deterioration in Dansie's feelings for his wife and an interest in pursuing a sexual relationship with another woman. During sentencing, Justice Lovell said Mrs Dansie's murder was the"ultimate act of domestic violence" and described it as an"evil and despicable act"."It was a planned murder — I'm not able to say precisely when you formed the intention to murder Helen.He said Dansie made"no attempt" to save his wife once she was face-down in the pond at Veale Gardens.
Mrs Dansie, a former microbiologist, suffered a stroke in the 1990s that left her with long-term disabilities. She was on an indexed pension for life, a large portion of which Mr Dansie was entitled to as her full-time carer, the court previously heard.Helen Dansie's friend, Eugenia Giorgio, read a statement on behalf of her son Grant Dansie, saying he hoped sentencing sends a message.
