Summary
Thompson told police he discovered his wife lying in an unnatural position when he went to get a drink. Despite this, Kim had been actively organising a future without him as their divorce neared its final stages. However, in the aftermath of her death, family and friends shared their disbelief that Kim had taken her own life, that she had been making plans for the future and shared with police officers the history of domestic abuse.
Furthermore, Jurors heard he had been watching sex videos while ‘stewing’ over her new relationship and her demand for an inflated divorce settlement. The court heard a picture of the couple on their wedding day and a montage of Kim's late sister, who committed suicide, were on the bed when paramedics and then police arrived.
