The full text of a letter Clayton Weatherston wrote to a former girlfriend five days after he killed Sophie Elliott. The letter was read out in full in court this morning.
Letter of January 14 2008
"I have been better and have also been thinking about you. This is a rough ride and its not looking like getting any easier.
I am in a cell (3.5 x 2.5m) most of the day, getting some time for a shower and outside in a small yard.
The food is pretty good! Knowing I have your support is crucial to me.
I am so sorry for not seeing how great you truly are.
I will talk /see you and Mum and Dad et al. soon as possible.
I am also sorry that such a horrible person has been ‘glorified' in the media (from what I have heard).
That is our society. It will blow over.
Not going to dwell on uncontrollables but rather on staying positive.
There is, unfortunately, way too much time here to over analyse.
I have started to appreciate the small things in life already.
I am nervous about court on Thursday and am annoyed my side will not be made public.
I also expect a lot of ill will.
I will focus on your continued positive energy to help me through it.
Don't know what I'll be wearing.
"You is my one"" ... Clayt.
PS I sent mUm some visitor application forms, you need to fill one in if you want to come and visit.
Thank everyone for me for their support."
