FED:Woman made throat slit gesture, inquest told

A Sydney inquest has been told a woman slid her fingers across her throat .. apparently
too terrified to escape after being grabbed by her ex-boyfriend.

Truck driver BRYAN "MEATLOAF" LAWLOR says he saw STACEY HUTCHINS make the gesture as
she sat in the bunk of DEAN WILLETT's semi-trailer the day before she died.

Glebe Coroner's Court is hearing evidence into the June 2007 death of 25-year-old Ms
HUTCHINS .. who somehow exited Mr WILLETT's moving semi-trailer in central west New South
Wales .. and died of massive head injuries the next day.

Her mother .. JILL BRITTON .. has broken down today describing how she'd begged her
daughter to leave Mr WILLETT .. and how the truckie had violently damaged her caravan
when Ms HUTCHINS finally left.

The inquest is continuing.
