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.
