The man convicted of murdering his wife in 1982 has come face-to-face with his daughter in a Sydney court

A “conniving monster” is how a former school teacher has been described for murdering his wife in 1982.

Chris Dawson was found guilty of murdering Lynette Dawson, so he could have a relationship with one of his then high school students.

In a Sydney court, Lynette Dawson’s brother said it was a “brazen act” committed by a man who was intent on getting what he wanted at any cost.

Dawson also heard from Lynette’s sister, Patricia, and his own daughter Shanelle.

His daughter reportedly took a long pause before she told her father “you destroyed our sense of safety and belonging in this world”.

She explained how she had glimpses of that “nightmare night” when her mother disappeared.

She told the court about her PTSD diagnosis, and described the torture of not knowing what the fate of her mother was for decades.

“The torture of not knowing what happened, of what you did with her body – please tell us where she is. I hope you will finally admit the truth to yourself.”

Dawson has repeatedly denied any involvement in his wife’s disappearance.

He claims Lynette packed her bags and left the family home, only to never be seen again.

The case has drawn worldwide attention because of The Teacher’s Pet podcast, where millions have tuned in from around the world.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
