Australian man has been found guilty of throwing his Canadian fiancée off the balcony of their high-rise Sydney apartment
Pearlman, J. (2013). The Telegraph.
A dramatic murder case in Australia that captivated the nation has ended with Simon Gittany being convicted of throwing his fiancé, Lisa Harnum, a glamorous former ballerina, from the balcony of their luxury apartment in the centre of Sydney.
The case made national headlines, not least because Gittany, 40, arrived in court each day with his new girlfriend, Rachelle Louise, a 24-year-old model who bears a striking resemblance to his dead fiancé.
The dramatic case involved a sad tale of “insane jealousy”, obsession, manipulation and a dysfunctional relationship in which Ms Harnum felt desperately confined but unable to escape.
In the weeks and months before her fatal plunge from the 15th floor of their apartment opposite Hyde Park on a bright Saturday morning in 2011, Gittany used a computer program to spy on her fiancé’s text messages and installed tiny security cameras inside and outside the apartment.
By the end, she was frantic and told her mother in their final phone conversation to contact her counsellor “if something happens to me”.
The New South Wales Supreme Court today rejected Gittany's plea of innocence, finding that he had a violent temper and killed Ms Harnum in a "fit of rage".

By the end, she was frantic and told her mother in their final phone conversation to contact her counsellor “if something happens to me”.
The New South Wales Supreme Court today rejected Gittany's plea of innocence, finding that he had a violent temper and killed Ms Harnum in a "fit of rage".
"I'm confident to the point of actual persuasion that he maintained his rage, carried her over to the balcony and then dropped her over," said Justice Lucy McCallum.
As the verdict was revealed, Gittany’s loyal girlfriend, Ms Louise, screamed “You're wrong!".
Announcing the verdict before a packed court, Justice McCallum said Gittany left his fiancé "in a state of absolute fear and despair".
"There can be no doubt the accused was controlling, dominating and at times abusive of Ms Harnum," she said.
"The force of his jealous and controlling personality met mixed reaction from Ms Harmum, who was at times defiant and at times submissive to an inexplicable degree.”
The judge found Gittany reacted with "nothing short of rage" when he learnt that Ms Harnum was secretly was making plans to leave him.
On the morning of Ms Harnum’s death, footage taken from a secret camera showed the couple had a violent quarrel outside the apartment and she yelled “Help me – god help me!” as he dragged her inside.
"At many times in his evidence, the accused struck me as being a person playing a role, telling a story which fitted with the objective evidence but which did no more than that," Justice McCallum said.
"His account of what happened appeared to exist on borrowed detail. It lacked originality and the subtlety of actual experience."
