The partner of Gable Tostee, who has stood by him appearing daily in court during his murder trial, has outed herself on social media by coming to the defence of the man she calls “determined” and “strong willed.”
New Zealander Lizzi Evans sat with Gable Tostee’s parents in court and gasped as he was proclaimed not guilty last week.
The young woman, originally from Auckland, began spending increasing amounts of time on the Gold Coast and is now relocating there to be closer to Tostee, according to her Facebook posts.
Evans, who News Limited says has been seeing Tostee since last April, has admitted to being a part of the closed Facebook group called “Gable Tostee and Warriena Wright case discussion group.”
There members would analyse and discuss the events of the trial – and debate Tostee’s innocence or guilt, unaware that in their midst was Tostee’s partner herself.

Evans took to Facebook to launch an attack on Warriena Wright, calling Ms Wright a self-confessed "psycho drunk”.
Lizzi Evans also said her boyfriend plans to sue the media for defamation now the case had concluded.

A jury of six men and six women last week found Gable Tostee not guilty of murder and of the lesser charge of manslaughter, following a nine-day trial in the Brisbane Supreme Court with four of them being deliberations.
News Limited reports that Ms Evans confirmed she was in a relationship with Tostee.
Evans made the comments on Saturday on the Facebook page of New Zealand journalist Rachel Smalley.

Even though I feel the right ruling happened, all this achieves, Lizzi, is showing yourself up and looking darned insecure.
You'll get judged, not her. Not a smart move.
Are you worried he'll return to his old ways where he can't stand just "rooting the same chick"? If so, no words you can say about a previous conquest will change anything. if he's going to play around, he will. Nothing you can do about that.
He "won" the case, so just be happy your boyfriend is free. In fact, he's shown more feeling about WW than you have.
Classy! Trashing a dead woman who can't defend herself. What a catch!
couldn't have said it better myself Iggy -- they are perfect for each other! What a nasty and vile woman! Just because he was found "not guilty" doesn't wash all the blood from his hands. Poor Warriena ...
She didn't really trash her at all- the media paraphrased it to make it sound dramatic.
Still a smart girlfriend would keep her actual trap shut.
