Zumba instructor found guilty of girlfriend’s murder
Mark Sheridan Waden had pleaded not guilty, and as the verdict was read out in court, he called out: “It wasn’t me.”
Eight years after US citizen Priscilla Brooten disappeared from her Brisbane home, her boyfriend has been found guilty of her murder. Mark Sheridan Waden pleaded not guilty to the murder of his girlfriend, Brooten, at the beginning of his Supreme Court trial. The jury reached their verdict on Tuesday morning.
As it was heard in court, Waden said: “It wasn’t me.” Brooten, who participated in beauty pageants in the US, had been in Australia since 2005, and met Waden in 2016 while he was teaching Zumba classes. Waden always maintained his innocence, with his barrister James Godbolt saying the case was based on conjecture, and there had been nothing linking his client to Brooten’s death.
The prosecution’s case – a circumstantial one – centred on allegations that Brooten was killed by Waden following an argument. More to come. You have reached your maximum number of saved items.
