Defence given more time in dive death case

3 February 2009
THE case of accused honeymoon killer Gabe Watson has been adjourned to give his lawyers and the prosecution more time to prepare.
American David Gabriel Watson, 31, was required to appear in Townsville Supreme Court today charged with the murder of his wife Tina.
He did not appear in court, but solicitor Rohan Armstrong, of his Townsville-based defence team, asked for more time.
"I have been in contact with Mr Watson ... we need more time to take further instructions on the matter," he told the court.
The Crown also requested more time, and the matter was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
The Alabama newlyweds were 11 days into their honeymoon when Tina drowned during a dive off the Townsville coast, on October 22, 2003.
Mr Watson has since remarried in the US, and his lawyers there have already indicated they are likely to fight his extradition in the courts.
