Wife of Outback Wrangler star Matt Wright reveals vandals set off a bomb on their property after he was charged following a chopper crash that killed Chris Wilson

The wife of controversial Outback Wrangler star Matt Wright has revealed vandals set off a bomb on their property in the middle of the night after her husband was charged following a fatal helicopter crash.

Wright will stand trial later this year for perverting the course of justice following a helicopter crash in the Northern Territory’s West Arnhem Land in February 2022.

The crash killed his best friend Chris ‘Willow’ Wilson and paralyzed pilot Sebastian Robinson.

Wright’s model wife Kaia has now spoken out about the intense criticism she, her husband and their two young children have faced in the aftermath of the accident.

‘Once we woke up in the middle of the night by the sound of a bomb going off. Someone planted a bomb in our electrical box and blew it up,” she said The Sunday Telegraph.

“When Matt isn’t home, I put chairs in front of my door. It’s that constant fear and stress that can make it difficult to navigate every day and still run a business, be a mother and be a wife.”

Kaia said her four-year-old son Banjo witnessed hoons doing burnouts in front of his father earlier this week and shouting “prison man” at him after leaving a cafe in Darwin.

Banjo then asked his mother if his father was going to prison.

“What do you say to your bubbly son who idolizes his father, what do you say to that?” said Mrs. Wright.

Mr Wilson was dangling from a helicopter from Wright’s company Helibrook during a mission to collect crocodile eggs in February 2022 when the plane crashed, killing him on impact.

Wright was charged in connection with the investigation into the crash, not in connection with the cause of the crash itself.

As part of his bail conditions, Wright is not allowed to speak to more than 50 people.

He has strongly denied all allegations.

Wilson’s widow, Danielle Wilson, is personally suing Wright over the crash.

Mrs Wilson previously filed a civil action against his helicopter company Helibrook and the Australian Civil Aviation Authority, alleging they both failed to fulfill their duty of care to her late husband.

Helibrook and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), which authorized his suspension from the helicopter, were both named as respondents.

Ms Wright said the “hardest part” of the investigation was not being able to honor Wilson.

She said her husband and his friends recently couldn’t even get together to celebrate and remember Mr. Wilson for his birthday because he is legally prohibited from seeing some of them.

Mrs Wright said police raided and bugged their home while she was pregnant with their second child Dusty.

Birthday cards and love letters that she and her husband shared were all included as part of the research.

She said the investigation and her husband’s accusations took a devastating toll on his mental health and there were days when he couldn’t get off the couch.

Mrs Wright also said she faced serious trolling on her social media accounts, with some calling her husband a ‘murderer’.

Wright is due to stand trial on a charge of attempted perverting the course of justice in the Northern Territory Supreme Court later this year.

Two of Wright’s co-defendants, Michael Burbidge and ex-police officer Neil Mellon, have pleaded guilty to destroying evidence for their roles in the incident.
