US EditionEx-army major accused of killing wife while kayaking seeks bail
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, JUL 31 – Graeme Davidson faces murder and fraud charges after his wife drowned during a kayaking trip, with allegations of an affair and a broken relationship preceding the incident.
- On Thursday, Graeme Davidson, charged in May with murdering Jacqueline, sought bail in Brisbane's Supreme Court; her body was found drowned during a kayaking trip in November 2020.
- Initially, Jacqueline Davidson's death was ruled non-suspicious before detectives reopened the case about 18 months later, learning Davidson had an affair during his Papua New Guinea posting, which Jacqueline discovered and caused significant matrimonial upset.
- Witnesses and emergency services performed CPR on Jacqueline Davidson, but she could not be revived, and no injuries consistent with violent assault were found.
- He has been refused police bail and is expected to appear in court later this month, with his one daughter offering surety if granted, while prosecutors plan to oppose his bail next week.
- He has been charged with seeking over $1m in life insurance payouts after his wife's death, with his lawyer claiming his actions were unremarkable.
