The devastated family of a 20-year-old who killed herself described her friend's "wickedness" as being "victimized" online by the victim.
Renae Marsden, of Sydney, Australia, killed herself in 2013 after an online boyfriend said she no longer wanted him, but in fact what she talked about online and being a virtual boyfriend was her former partner, Camila Zeidan.
Zeidan, who has not yet been criminally charged, had created the fake person named 'Brayden Spiteri'.
The 20-year-old Renae had been dating for a year with a man she believed to be a "Spitzer" and even made marriage plans with her.
Spitzer claimed to be a prisoner in Goulburn, so he could not meet in person.
The couple had exchanged about 11,000 text messages, even sexual messages sent by Marsden.
Marsden's family has begged Camila to tell the truth. "She has kidnapped our daughter, we have been waiting for seven years for her to accept the truth, but she has decided not to," said her mother.
Giving her testimony, Zeidan said she had created her 'Brayden' character, along with Marsden, so that they would be "together again".
Zeidan told the court: "We were continuing our relationship through our characters."
