Crown says Simon Gittany made up evidence over the balcony fall death of Lisa Harnum Picture tendered to court which shows the view (and distance to ground) from the balcony from where Lisa Harnum fell to her death / Picture: Supplied Source: Supplied AN "apoplectic and berserk" Simon Gittany overpowered his fiancee in her final attempt to escape him and threw her from their apartment balcony while she still clutched her handbag, his trial heard yesterday. The prosecution in Gittany's murder trial took a full day to question him about what happened on the morning of July 30, 2011, suggesting he was overcome with "humiliation" and "beside himself with anger" because Lisa Harnum was leaving him for good.

The Crown said the "shimmers of light" captured in the secret pinhole camera Gittany installed show "a struggle," Ms Harnum's last effort "to get out of your grip and escape from the apartment and your clutches." Gittany couldn't explain why the door appeared to open again but stressed he didn't make any attempt to go near it after they were both back inside.
