Glasgow soldier charged with murdering wife in Australia in alleged million dollar life insurance fraud

Graeme Davidson, a 55-year-old former Scottish soldier, was charged in Brisbane with murdering his 54-year-old wife Jacqueline during a kayaking trip in November 2020 at Lake Samsonvale, Australia.
The case originally classified as an accidental drowning was reopened as a homicide after coronial inquiries and further investigation raised suspicions about Jacqueline’s death.
Police gathered witness testimony, expert statements, and conducted an autopsy during the lengthy probe, which revealed Davidson allegedly attempted to claim over A$1 million in life insurance following Jacqueline’s death.
Davidson received a life insurance payment of $264,000 just 18 days following his wife's death and subsequently submitted a second claim nearly three weeks later seeking $950,000, though he did not obtain the larger amount.
Davidson remains in custody after being refused bail, and will face further hearings in May 2025 while authorities urge anyone with information about the case to come forward.
