Peter Dawson said he believes Lynette Dawson may have also fled to New Zealand, The Daily Telegraph reports.
'We don’t know where Lyn is. I hope she is living happily somewhere in the world,' he said.
The bizarre coincidence comes as Dawson is charged with the homicide of his former wife Lynette.
Mr Walsh confirmed Dawson is pleading not guilty to the charges and will be 'strenuously' protesting his innocence.

Dawson's extra-martial affair with schoolgirl Joanne Curtis and the suspicious circumstances of Lynette's disappearance has been the subject of critically acclaimed podcast The Teacher's Pet.
