David Bain case

David Bain's sister, Laniet, told her employer that she had been having sex with her father and planned to go to police.Stephen Cousins employed Laniet on a part time casual basis in his dairy, around the corner from the Bain home in Dunedin.

Mr Cousins said Laniet told him that she had been having sex with her father while her family had been living in Papua New Guinea and when they arrived back in New Zealand.Mr Cousins said Laniet told him she planned to go to the police. "She appeared to be kind of worried," Mr Cousins said. He said he offered to go with her to the police to be a support person. Mr Cousins said Laniet only worked with him "a few times" over a two to three week period before he sold the business in 1993. Under cross-examination by Crown prosecutor Robin Bates, Mr Cousins was asked if Laniet appeared "needy". Mr Cousins said: "Not at all".

Earlier Mr Cousins told the court that he had been asked by a group of girls to employ Laniet so she could "turn her life around".

I was really shock when I hear about this controversy, I can't imagine how this things could happen with his own blood.
