Overview
- Renny Palmer testified Tuesday that Gofal Baziad gave her rides the weekend Jason Palmer vanished and tried to reassure her by saying Jason might have gone to a nightclub.
- She told jurors they went to Jason’s rental two days after he disappeared and found the unit messy as if no one had slept there.
- Prosecutors allege Baziad killed Jason in his Lakemba unit late on February 6 or early February 7, 2004, then wrapped the body in a blue‑green sleeping bag and weighed it with rocks.
- About 23 days later, kayakers found Jason’s body on the Nepean River at Menangle, wrapped and tied with yellow rope, according to police evidence described in court.
- The Crown says jealousy was the motive after Renny chose to reunite with Jason in late 2003, while Baziad, 54, has pleaded not guilty and the Supreme Court trial continues.
