As Perth residents ventured out to catch a glimpse of the Australia Day fireworks, police allege billionaire Laurence Escalate was stepping behind the wheel of one of his high-end sports cars and making a beeline for the home of his former partner.
“I’m coming now,” the West Australian entrepreneur texted the 24-year-old shortly after 8pm, according to police, the last in a series of messages and phone calls that evening that had been met with silence.
