Pastor describes murder confession

Dean Mulligan told his pastor that he thought he had

The jury in the Marice McGregor murder trial has heard evidence from the accused's pastor, including a murder confession.

Pastor John Sefton described an interaction with murder accused Dean Mulligan and his wife, after police revealed to her that her husband had been using online dating sites.

During a meeting a month after Ms McGregor's death the pastor says Mrs Mulligan removed her wedding ring and said that the marriage was over.

Later in the day Mulligan told the pastor while driving to a police interview that he thought he had "done it"

The pastor told him that he could say anything, but he would recount the conversation to Police officers.

The jury will watch video's of Mulligan's confessions to Police from that day, later this afternoon.
