Telling his story in the November 5 edition of the

Take 5 magazine, Mr Snibson said his former wife was “the master of manipulation”, who had convinced two others to help her kill Nowra Hill horse breeders Greg Hosa and Kathryn McKay.

She told Andrew Flentjar Mr Hosa had molested Snibson’s daughters, while she told Stacey Lea-Caton Mr Hosa and Ms McKay had sex tapes of her.

“Clearly, Kim had told each of the men the tale she thought would push their buttons the most - and it had worked,” Mr Snibson said in the article.

Mr Snibson stressed the

stories his former wife told the two accomplices were complete lies.

“Greg Hosa was a thoroughly decent person who did not deserve such terrible lies to be made up about him, let alone to die so needlessly,” he said.

But he said it was not the first time she had made up such stories.

Once Kim was arrested, friends and acquaintances started coming out of the woodwork with stories about things Snibson had done or tried to do.

He said most of the calls started with “I’ve been wanting to tell you this for years”.

“Then they’d tell me about an affair she’d had or how she’d tried to enlist them in a desperate scheme to have someone beaten up or killed.

“A friend confessed ‘Kim wanted an old lady beaten up because she said her son had molested one of your girls’,” Mr Snibson revealed.

“Nobody had touched my daughters.

“It was a fantasy made up by Kim to get others to do terrible things for her.”

There were similar allegations made a few years earlier by a girl named Rebecca, who was just 15 when Snibson convinced her to move in with the family.

Mr Snibson said his former wife announced at the time: “We’ve got a free babysitter.”

“Later, Rebecca sought me out and what she had to say rocked me,” Mr Snibson said in the magazine article.

“Kim had kept a horse at a stable owned by an elderly couple and Rebecca said, ‘She talked about tying them up, making them sign over their property to her and killing them’.”

Mr Snibson questioned whether a similar plan was behind his former wife inheriting a house in Calymea Street, Nowra Hill, which was the scene of the murders of Mr Hosa and Ms McKay.

He recalled how Snibson befriended the elderly dog breeder Judith Palinkas who had cancer, and helped her look after the dogs.

But in the process, “Kim got hold of powerful tranquillisers and quietly killed the older dogs,” Mr Snibson recalled.

“Then on April 17, 2003, Judith’s condition suddenly worsened. She changed her will that night, leaving her house to Kim, and died the next day.”

The extent of Snibson’s scheming was also revealed after her arrest, when she told her former husband she had taken 22 lovers during their time together and had gone to extraordinary lengths to cover up the affairs - even claiming to have suffered a mental breakdown and be seeking psychiatric treatment when she was, in fact, away with another man.

Snibson was jailed for 32 years for murdering the Nowra Hill couple in January, 2006, while Stacey Lea-Caton is serving a 22-year sentence for his role in the murders and Andrew Wayne Flentjar is serving a 10-year sentence for assisting in kidnapping Mr Hosa and Ms McKay.
