David Bain's house in Every Street went up in flames

SHOOT: 'Inappropriate' comes up a few times. That he wanted to play WHO WANTS TO LOVE FOREVER for Laniet shows some misguided attempt to rationalise her death.

Mrs Boyd said when she spoke with David, he told her that he hated his father.

He had picked out particular music to be played for each of the family, and what each would be dressed in.

In the case of his sister Arawa, 19, David wanted her dressed in a particular gown and a "super bra", Mrs Boyd said.

David wanted the song, Who wants to live Forever, played for Laniet, which Mrs Boyd said she found totally inappropriate.

David spoke about not having a family and nowhere to live anymore. Mrs Boyd said she suggested he would move on and get married and have a family, which David seemed quite happy about.

It was going to be the birthday of David's sister Arawa six days after the killings. David suggested a party at the family home, which Mrs Boyd told him was totally inappropriate. David then said the party could be held at Arawa's gravesite.

The court earlier heard that a controlled fire that destroyed the Bain family home ended up looking like a "funeral pyre".
