Tuesday 24 May 2022 04:46 PM Biannca Edmunds is accused of using Glen Cassidy to kill Michael Caposiena in ... trends now A father's desire to begin a relationship with his estranged son saw him shot dead in his own home and his new partner brutally pistol whipped and left clinging to life. Biannca Edmunds, 35, has pleaded not guilty to organising the murder of Michael Caposiena, her former partner and the father of one of her children. Mr Caposiena, 32, was murdered by Edmunds' new partner Glen Cassidy, who died from injuries inflicted upon him by his victim before he was shot at point blank range through the head. Biannca Edmunds (right) is accused of ordering a brutal hit against her former partner in an effort to keep him out of their child's life Michael Caposiena died after he was shot in the head in March 2016 Edmunds is accused of manipulating Cassidy to do her alleged evil bidding by using a deadly mix of scathing abuse and kinky sex. 'If you were a real man and you had any f**king balls, you'd go and deal with this bloke,' Edmunds allegedly told Cassidy. 'You're a spineless coward. You're not a real man at all.' A Supreme Court of Victoria jury heard on Tuesday Edmunds had been determined to have her ex-partner killed to avoid him having access to their young son. She also had plans to profit from his demise by making a cruel legal challenge on his estate on behalf of their child, the jury heard. A court later ticked-off on half of the value of Mr Capasiena's $600,000 estate despite his current partner, Silvana Silva, still being alive. The jury heard Edmunds allegedly told multiple people, including her own family members, that she had wanted Mr Capasiena killed. 'I want Michael out of the way, I want him gone, I wish he'd just leave us alone and not try for (their son),' she allegedly said. The court heard Edmunds had routinely mocked Cassidy about his reluctance to do her bidding and had allegedly once asked an outlaw bikie to carry out the hit. Ms Silva had been fortunate not to have been killed that night when Cassidy stormed their Westmeadows home, in Melbourne's north. The jury heard Edmunds' plan had been for Cassidy to kill her too, but he bled to death from stab wounds inflicted upon him by Mr Capasiena before he was shot. Biannca Edmunds has been accused of directing her husband Glen Cassidy (both pictured) to kill Michael Caposiena Cassidy had pointed the gun at Ms Silva's head and fired, but he had already used the one and only bullet he brought for the assassination on her partner. He broke the pistol into pieces smashing Ms Silva's head in before neighbours' intervened. Before he dropped dead on the front lawn, the cold blooded killer claimed it had been her who stabbed him. His dying words saw baffled police arrest and detain Ms Silva before detectives finally worked out Cassidy had been the triggerman. A map found in Cassidy's car was allegedly found to have Edmunds' fingerprint on it. DNA found on the gun also allegedly contained traces of her DNA. The jury heard Edmunds had bragged about the bumbling police investigation after they interviewed her nine months after the killing. 'Thank God they didn't find Glen's laptop out in the garage. They've taken the wrong one,' Edmunds told her sister. Biannca Edmunds has pleaded not guilty to murder Police had also failed to extract a series of recorded conversations off Cassidy's phone, but when they returned to retrieve it a year later armed with new technology, Edmunds still had it in her possession. The jury heard Edmunds had been confident cops would swallow an alibi that placed her in Shepparton - in Victoria's north - at the time of the murder. Cassidy had supposedly sent her a well worded text message taking full responsibility for what he was about to do. Crown prosecutor Neill Hutton told the jury Edmunds had also made admissions to her new boyfriend, who she hooked-up with not long after Cassidy was killed. 'She had it planned all perfectly. He knew where to get away. He shouldn't have even known he was coming,' Edmunds allegedly told her lover. 'She talked about a map and described it ... then she started saying: "the police accused my of typing a text message for Glen", and she said she had to type it because "Glen couldn't spell for sh*t.' Edmunds' barrister John Kelly, SC told the jury his client denied all of the allegations against her and claimed he could explain how her fingerprint and DNA was allegedly found on incriminating items.
