An apprehended violence order was applied for in Campbelltown Court to protect her partner Paul Veitch, 36, preventing Ms Moody from living with him, ­assaulting or stalking him. Details of the couple's ­tumultuous relationship were revealed yesterday as a grief-stricken Mr Veitch spoke with police after the tragedy, which happened during the recently engaged couple's camping trip. The Daily Telegraph ­understands police were called to Mr Veitch's Campbelltown home on August 10 this year after reports of a domestic incident. It is understood Ms Moody was questioned at the home but no charges were laid and the application for the AVO was made on August 26. Just days ago Mr Veitch had proposed to his girlfriend of eight months. "That's the tragedy of it all, they were so happy out camping, having a great time," a close associate said. Things were going well. It s just a tragic bloody accident. He's been through a hell of a lot. The couple had planned to camp overnight near a Scouts building. Mr Veitch told police the pair went to find water for their billy shortly before 8pm when Ms Moody, who was walking ahead of Mr Veitch, strayed from the trail and plunged 23m on to rocks below. Her partner saw the fall and ran back up the hill to a nearby Scout Hall to phone emergency services. Police Rescue attended 20 minutes later and found Ms Moody dead. A crime scene was established and Ms Moody's body was carried out about 1am. Camden Detective Inspector Jayne Doherty described the incident as a "tragic circumstance" and said police were investigating whether alcohol was involved. "It is believed they were going to collect water for their billy when the woman deviated from the path and fell," Insp Doherty said. We are looking into if ­alcohol may have been a factor in the incident. Shocked neighbours described the couple as having a tumultuous relationship. It is so sad to hear when young people die. I saw her a few months ago on her birthday," a neighbour said. He was an interesting guy. We didn't talk to each other much and they had the police called to their place quite a few times. Mr Veitch attended Narellan Police Station yesterday and is assisting police with their inquiries. Originally published as Cliff fall victim's AVO after partner "stabbing"
