Doctor 'killed husband with hammer after they had threesome sex with teenager'

Chamari Liyanage pleaded not guilty to murder
after claiming she was a "sleep deprived,
battered" wife
A female doctor is accused of killing her
husband with a hammer after they engaged in
a threesome with a teenage girl.
Chamari Liyanage is alleged to have murdered
Dinendra Athukorala over fears their sexual
activity could burden her career.
The Sri Lankan couple had threesomes with a
number of other women, including a 17-year-old
girl.
Liyanage is on trial charged with killing her
spouse, also a doctor, with his own hammer.
When police arrived, the walls were splattered
with his blood and she was curled up beside
the bed, it is alleged.
The jury at the Supreme Court of Western
Australia heard how the defendant was at
breaking point and had become fed up of her
"controlling" husband.
She had told police how he was physically
violent, forced her to engage in sexual acts and
controlled her finances and kept tabs on where
she went to
The jury heard the tearful 10-minute phone call
she made in June 2014, when she claimed she
couldn't remember what happened.
Police said his body lay on top of a blood-
soaked mattress and there was a pillow on top
of the corpse.
Matthew Curley, one of the first responders,
said: "I asked if she knew what had happened.
"She said she did not know."
Defence lawyer George Giudice said Liyanage
was a "sleep-deprived, anxious, trapped and
battered woman".
She pleaded not guilty to murder.
The trial, set to continue for three weeks,
