Gerard Baden-Clay Used Baby Monitors to Spy on Allison’s Life

A cousin of Allison Baden-Clay claimed that her husband and eventual killer Gerard Baden-Clay controlled “every aspect” of her life, even using baby monitors to spy on his wife.

Allison’s cousin, Jodie Dann, has revealed to Woman’s Day that Gerard Baden-Clay would use baby monitors to spy on his wife, refused to let her control her own finances and regularly insulted her appearance, while conducting a series of extra-marital affairs.

“Allison was controlled in every aspect of her life.

“He wouldn’t let her have bank cards and would only give her bits of cash to spend.

“He was always at her about getting fat. She felt worthless and she was taunted by his infidelities,” she said.

Gerard Baden-Clay, 45, was convicted in 2014 of murdering Allison at Brookfield, in Brisbane’s west, in April 2012. Her body was found near a creek in April 2012, 10 days after Gerard reported her missing.

Gerard was charged with her murder in June 2012 and convicted after a six-week trial in 2014. He was sentenced to life in prison before his appeal.

A full bench of the High Court is set to hear the case today, following the downgrading of Baden-Clay’s murder conviction to manslaughter last year. The Queensland Director of Public Prosecutions will push to have the murder conviction reinstated.

Gerard has remained in prison since his 2012 conviction, despite the successful appeal.
