Julie knew that Wayne had been diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation, a condition that meant he had an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in his brain that had caused a brain injury.
When doctors said the injury was not in a location that could cause behavioural changes, Wayne insisted to Julie that they had got it wrong.
Wayne dictated what Julie wore, what she ate, who she spoke to and when she could go to the bathroom.
Julie was aware of Wayne's past, including his ties to an outlaw bikie gang, but the man she knew was calm, charming and attentive.
For 15 years, Wayne Haddow had been a supportive presence in Julie Bayliss's life.
