A Victorian Supreme Court has heard a former policeman assaulted his wife .. chained her up in their car .. then drove it off a pier because he wanted to kill himself and have her witness it.
CAMERON COOK has pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of his wife SONIA COOK in September 2007 .. at the Mordialloc Pier in Melbourne's southeast.
The incident happened after COOK learnt his wife was having an affair.
Ms COOK managed to escape when the chains that bound her to the sinking car broke.
