“[JC] said, ‘I think he murdered his first wife’,” Melrose-Mikeska told the court. Giving evidence last month, JC said she had driven to a building on the south side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Upon returning to the car, Dawson allegedly told JC he had gone inside to hire a hitman but had changed his mind because innocent people could be killed or hurt. Melrose-Mikeska did not know of this, saying she had never heard JC speak positively about her husband. Cook said when she asked about Lynette Dawson, JC simply said she had left her husband and two daughters without making contact afterwards.
