Court Hears Harrowing Audio Of Woman’s Last Moments In Tinder Murder Trial

 
CONTENT WARNING: Please be aware this story contains graphic descriptions and audio of a woman’s death. It may be distressing for some readers. 

Yesterday marked the second day of court for the high-profile ‘Tinder’ balcony fatality in Queensland, which accuses Gable Tostee of murdering 26-year-old New Zealand woman Warriena Wright, who he met via dating app Tinder in August 2014.
Warriena Wright fell from the balcony of Tostee’s 14th story Gold Coast apartment, after allegedly being locked out there and attempting to climb to another balcony to escape him. The 30-year-old carpet layer has pleaded not guilty to the murder.
Audio recorded on Tostee‘s phone, as well as six selfies of the two have been tendered to the Brisbane Supreme Court.
In most of the selfies, Wright is smiling and happy, but she looks scared and/or upset in one (last pictured). Authorities say they were taken a very, very short time before her death. 
Witnesses have also given their accounts; resident of the Gold Coast building Nick Casey (who lives on the 12th floor) says he saw Wright dangling from Tostee‘s balcony, sand says he tried to yell at her to climb back over. 

“I heard her say, ‘I want to go home’, I heard her say, ‘help’ and at that point I said to her, ‘go back inside’ and it wasn’t long after that she fell.

She fell straight past where I was standing on the balcony and ricocheted off a few balconies below us and kept going to the ground.”
The harrowing audio from Tostee’s phone has been played over two days of the case being in court. Prosecutors say it is key evidence in the case against him, and defence say it shows his actions were in self-defence. 
The audio shows Wright was drunk and slurring her words, and became violent towards Tostee. It shows him becoming increasingly aggressive towards her as she pleads to go home: 
Wright can be heard emitting chilling screams, yelling “no, no, no” before being forced out onto the balcony, and you hear a door closing. Seconds later, there is silence from Wright, with only the sound of Tostee breathing.
From the ABC, here is a transcript of quotes from the audio:
1:06am Ms Wright: “I know you want to kill me because you told me so.”
1:08am Tostee says he does not think there is anything after death. Tostee: “Throw me off the balcony and that is it. This is it, boom.”
1:19am Music still playing in the background and soft sounds of groaning in background.
1:21am Ms Wright: “You do have to do shit to me.”
1:23am Tostee: “Ow.”
1:29am Tostee: “I don’t like getting beaten up.”
1:36am Tostee: “There is a tonne of your stuff here. Hey I didn’t say you have to leave, I said that you have to stop beating me up.” Heated conversation.
1:36am Ms Wright: “…I will fucking destroy your jaw. It is not f***ing funny.”
1:38am Tostee: “I should have never given you so much to drink. I thought that we were going to have fun?”
1:39am Tostee: “I don’t deserve this shit, OK. I am a nice fucking guy.”
1:39am Tostee: “Do you even remember what you were doing to me half an hour ago? You were beating me up for no reason.” 
Ms Wright: “Exactly.” 
Tostee: “You thought it was funny or something. Why were you beating me up?”
Ms Wright: “I am gone, I will be out of your hair see you later. I am going.” Ms Wright produces a phone, stating: “See you later.” 
Tostee: “You are such a drama queen.”
1:41am Tostee asks if they can “sit down and discuss this”. Ms Wright says she is a freak. Tostee says he is going to have bruises, asks Ms Wright to stay the night. Tostee says he is the most tolerant person she would meet, “but you are just a bit violent”. Tostee offers to cook something, asking Ms Wright if she wants something to eat.
1:48am Ms Wright: “Don’t be a dick, don’t be a dick.”
Tostee: “I’m not being a dick.” 
Ms Wright asks if she can go over to the window and have a look.
Tostee: “Don’t jump off or anything.”
Ms Wright: “No.”
2:10am Sounds of a struggle and ruffling sound of recording device. 
Ms Wright: “That really hurt my vagina.” More struggling and male laughter. 
Ms Wright: “You sound like a faggot.”
2:12am Tostee: “All right I give up, what do you want?” Loud bang. Tostee: “Ow.”
2:14am Tostee: “You are not my kind of girl. That is enough. You have worn out your welcome. You have to leave.” 
Ms Wright:OK, it’s all good.” 
Tostee: “You have to leave.”
2:15am Tostee: “I thought you were kidding and I have taken enough. This is fucking bullshit. You are lucky I haven’t chucked you off my balcony you goddamn psycho little bitch.”
2:17am Tostee: “You’re a goddamn psycho. I am going to let you go. I am going to walk you out of this apartment just the way you are. You are not going to collect any of your belongings you are just going to walk out and I am going to slam the door on you do you understand. If you try and pull anything. I’ll knock you out. I’ll knock you the fuck out. Do you understand? Do you understand? Do you understand?”
Tostee: “Come on Get up. Get up.”
Ms Wright: “I am so sorry.”
Tostee: “I don’t care … you don’t understand do you? You don’t understand anything at all, do you? You don’t understand, do you?” Sounds of a struggle. 
Tostee: “Let go. You think that you hit me and I was going to fall down like in the movies. Let go of it. Let go. Let Go. Let go.”
2:19am Sounds consistent with door unlocking and then female states “No”. Possible sound of glass door being hit.
2:20am Tostee: “Who the fuck do you think you are? Hey?”
Ms Wright: “No, no, no … No! No, no. No.”
Tostee: “You tried to kill me huh? Well why did you try and hit me with that. Huh? Shut your filthy mouth.”
Ms Wright: “No. No. No No. No (screaming).”
Tostee: “It is all on recording you know. It is all being recorded.”
Ms Wright: “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just let me go home.”
Tostee: “I would but you have been a bad girl.”
Ms Wright: “Just let me go home. Just let me go home. Just let me go home. Just let me go home.”
2:21am Faint screaming detected. Tostee heard breathing very heavily. He makes a call on his mobile phone. Tostee: “Shit.”
2:22am Tostee: “Where the fuck are my keys?”
Shortly after, there is audio of Tostee calling his father and asking for help:
“Hello dad, I might have a bit of a situation. I met up with a girl for a date … she started getting really aggressive. We had sex in bed and then after that she kept drinking.”
He goes on to explain that he and Wright had both been drunk, that she kept beating him up and that he forced her onto the balcony.

“I think she might’ve jumped off … there’s like a million cops.

I’m fucked, I don’t know what to do. I didn’t cause this, I didn’t push her or anything.”
