A man in love with a woman who allegedly ordered him to kill his ex-girlfriend was caught on tape begging for sex.
But police claim Glen Cassidy was not fooled into believing he would be lucky enough to have Biannca Edmunds if he had acted like his ex-girlfriend Michael Caposiena.
‘Can we have sex tomorrow night,’ Cassidy asked her on March 3, 2016.
‘I don’t know. That depends on whether we celebrate or not, ‘Edmunds replied.
Biannca Edmunds is leaving Victoria High Court during her trial in Victoria High Court in Melbourne this month.
Biannca Edmunds has been charged with directing her husband Glen Cassidy (all pictured) to kill Michael Caposiena.

It is alleged that Edmunds, 35, persuaded Cassidy, 51, to execute the song for Mr Caposiena through a combination of sex and fraud.
Mr Caposiena – a father who separated from his young child – made a serious mistake in expressing his desire to have more contact with their child, it is alleged.
Cassidy bled to death after shooting Mr. Caposiena killed him in a massacre at his home in West Meadows, north of Melbourne, on March 12 that year.
In a series of calls recorded by Cassidy towards the tablet, Edmunds is heard allegedly talking secretly about the planned killings.
For unknown reasons, Cassidy had installed a mobile app that he used to record many conversations.
‘I’m completely out of this job,’ Cassidy is heard complaining during one call.
‘Well, just finish,’ Edmunds replied.
“I’m trying,” Cassidy said.
‘Finish this job and move on. Let the next life be better, ‘Edmunds told Cassidy.
“We need a little stress in our lives and I don’t expect to go to Legal Aid … I’m sick of it.”
Edmunds has pleaded not guilty in the Victorian Supreme Court for the murder of his ex-girlfriend.
Michael Caposiena died after being shot in the head in March 2016. Glen Cassidy then tried to hit his girlfriend, but had only fired one shot in the head.
The jury heard that Edmunds expected Cassidy to perform the ‘task’ when he was thousands of miles from Darwin.
‘Pay attention, don’t fill, listen,’ he told Cassidy in one phone call.
The jury heard Cassidy blaming his wife as she traveled to and from Melbourne opening her victim’s home.
‘I have never, loved someone like me and I love you,’ he told her during one show of affection.
‘It is a fact. When I’m away from you I hurt. ‘
Edmunds responded with a cool silence.
Many recorded phone calls to the jury prompted Cassidy to seek out romantic signals from Edmunds – to the point of proposing to have a pink butterfly tattooed on an irritating tattoo.
‘I bet you look good,’ she whispered. ‘Do you want to hear me drink my coffee?
‘I love you,’ Cassidy said in another call.
“I know,” Edmunds replied.
The pair repeatedly expressed frustration as Cassidy’s target failed to return home night after night.
‘I hope things go well tonight. I hope there is someone there, ‘Cassidy complained to his wife.
“Well it’s Sunday, maybe they went,” Edmunds replied.
“It’s annoying … but you have to do what you have to do,” Cassidy said.
“I know,” Edmunds replied.

Cassidy is heard telling Edmunds about an unexpected dog near his ‘workplace’.
He was bleeding on the night of the shooting and a bloody map found on it highlighting where noisy dogs could be found.
Police claim it was a map developed by Edmunds himself.
As he neared the end of his flight from Darwin, Cassidy, who looked confused, told him he was determined to do the job.
‘I don’t want to give it up at all. It must be done, ‘Cassidy told Edmunds.
“I know,” Edmunds replied.
‘I’ll have to come back tomorrow night and finish this,’ Cassidy assured him.
The court heard that Cassidy was made to feel that Edmunds would leave him if he did not commit the murder.
Edmunds was heard repeatedly teasing Cassidy on the phone about a handsome young man who appeared to show interest in him while in Darwin.
Night after night Cassidy told Edmunds about his failed ‘work shifts’ in Melbourne.
‘I will finish this work today,’ Cassidy was heard saying.
Edmunds replied: ‘I hope you will. I want to celebrate. I bought you a present. ‘
‘I want to celebrate too. Friggin believe me. I will try my best, you know that, ‘Cassidy said.
‘Don’t be happy just after work,’ Edmunds warned him. ‘Do not hurt yourself.’
‘No that won’t happen,’ Cassidy assured him. ‘He will be right.’

A hat that said ‘Fear The Reaper’ was found near where Cassidy’s bloody body was.
Edmunds is often heard telling the troubled Cassidy to ‘rejoice’ himself.
But when he arrived at Darwin airport to return home, he was very upset.
“Oh, do it then we won’t have to worry about it anymore,” Edmunds told Cassidy.
‘Just go to work the way it is completed and we do not have a night like this again. It’s getting to everyone I think. ‘
The jury heard Edmunds ‘worried about Cassidy’ ability to ‘work’ due to his complaints of insomnia.
‘Because you drive a heavy machine,’ he told her.
It took years for the police to prosecute Edmunds for alleged involvement in the crime.
His arrest in June 2019 followed a thorough police investigation, which saw murder squad detective Senior Constable Michael Cashman interrogate Edmunds twice.
The court heard Edmunds’ arrest stemmed from a combination of court evidence allegedly implicating him in the crime, including his fingerprints on a bloody map, and a text message that police allegedly used from Cassidy’s phone on the day of the incident. murder.
Edmunds has denied ever mentioning Cassidy that he intended to harm his ex.
“I have never wished for anyone to die,” he told detective.
‘Really?’ the detective replied.
“I’m very skeptical, because I’m not psychological,” he replied.
Cassidy would use a single shot to kill Mr Caposiena before firing his empty shotgun at his victim’s girlfriend, Silvana Silva, who lived to tell the story.
A former fitness teacher tried to beat Ms Silva to death in front of the hall before she bled from a knife wound to Mr Caposiena before shooting and killing him.
Before concluding his 2015 interview with police, Edmunds began a statement in which he denounced all illegal activities.
‘I do not agree with firearms around children. I do not agree with much. I do not agree with the operation of the text. I’ve analyzed people about that. I friggin not to go out and stop myself on alcohol. I go and have the same time every now and then every few months, but I stay legal, ‘he said.
Anger, joy; Biannca Edmunds’ 2016 interview record saw him go through various emotions
A text message sent from Glen Cassidy’s phone the day he killed Biannca’s ex-girlfriend Edmunds.
Glen Cassidy created a ‘What to Do’ list, which included ‘restrictions’ on the murder plot and his desire to ‘have more sex’.
Todd Bookham – who served nearly eight years in prison for cutting his ex-wife’s throat and stabbing his step sister in front of his six-year-old son – told the court that Edmunds admitted he planned to execute his ex-girlfriend. .
‘He was going on about how Glen was not meant to die and it was all his fault … he was telling me that they had drawn a map so that if he went there and, and killed um, sorry, what was his name? Bookham said.
Edmunds dismissed Bookham’s claims during his 2018 interview record.
Dressed in a bright floral t-shirt, Edmunds was once again emphasized by Senior Constable Cashman before rushing.
“This is a boy who went to jail for trying to kill,” Edmunds scolded him.
‘Yes,’ replied the handsome detective.
‘And you are to trust him?’ He asked shaking his head in disbelief.
The trial is set to begin on Wednesday.
“This is a boy who went to jail for attempted murder,” Edmunds scolded Constable Cashman during his 2018 interview.
