Pamela Fogwell and Adam Moody. Mr Moody thought he was the father of Pamela's child. Credit:Seven News The two met in 1998, and were married 10 months later. They had several children together, and in 2014 she was pregnant again. But the marriage was failing. Pamela had taken out an intervention order against Fogwell. Worse, she had moved herself and the children out of the family home – and had gone to live with Mr Moody, a primary school friend who she had stayed in touch with for 20 years. Both he and Fogwell came to believe the child was theirs. Pamela did not have much luck with relationships. Her new on-again-off-again relationship with Mr Moody broke down too. She took the kids and moved back into the family home with Fogwell. She told Fogwell that Mr Moody wanted him dead, and he believed her. But Pamela couldn't end it. Her feelings confused her. On the night of Mr Moody's death she spoke with him on the phone, and they arranged to meet. She told Fogwell she was going to spend the night with a girlfriend.

Fatefully, he did not believe her. After she left, Fogwell hopped in his white Pajero and went hunting. He found them at a service station. Mr Moody had the pump in Pamela's blue Barina.

He later told police Mr Moody threatened to kill him.

Fogwell went inside the petrol station's little shop and told the attendant to call police. Mr Moody jumped in the passenger seat of Pamela's car, and they took off. Fogwell gave chase. Pamela's small car stopped at a traffic light, and he ran his four-wheeler up the back, hard, smashing the car off the road, onto the nature strip, and through a house fence. He reversed and rammed the front driver's side where Mr Moody was sitting. Mr Moody got out and yelled at Fogwell "you're f---ing dead, c---". Fogwell then ran him down, trapping him under the car.

"The deceased was crying out for help and couldn't move," prosecutor Sharn Coombes told the Supreme Court. Fogwell wasn't done. He drove the car forwards and backwards through the front yard and then into a neighbour's house, dragging Mr Moody underneath for five minutes. He later told police he reckoned he ran over him 10 times while yelling "it's all right, I just want to f---king kill him". "As soon as he said heaps of people are going to die for this, that was it mate I had to kill him. It should all be on tape mate," Fogwell told the police as he was arrested. "He reckoned he was tough. He did not f---ing survive that. I did not stop. I could not stop" Fogwell speaks to police after his arrest. Credit:Channel 7 News

Witnesses captured the scene on shaky mobile phone footage. They couldn't understand what Fogwell was doing – was he hooning? Why had he smashed up a house? Pamela can be heard in the background, pleading for him to stop. When police arrived, Mr Moody was dead, and no attempt to revive him was made. "He's the only one I had to kill, mate," Fogwell told police. In prison, Fogwell told a treating doctor he still believed he was justified in doing what he did, that Mr Moody threatened his life – information he had received mostly from Pamela. I hope that's true, he said, or I killed a man who did not deserve to die. Fogwell's counsel told the court his client's father had been abusive, and had regularly beat the boy and his mother. At the same time, he had encouraged young Fogwell to respond to adversity with aggression and violence - meaning he was conditioned to respond the way he did.

Pamela would eventually give birth to a baby boy, Callum. She told Fogwell it was his. The child was born with a congenital defect and died soon after birth. Justice Bernard Bongiorno reserved his sentencing decision to a later date.
