A woman whose husband fell from a hotel balcony in Crete with their two children has told a court how their holiday had been plagued by rows.
John Hogan, from Bristol, is accused of murdering Liam, six, by leaping 50ft (15m) with him and his sister from the fourth floor of a hotel in 2006.
The 33-year-old's daughter Mia survived the fall. He denies murder.
Mr Hogan's ex-wife Natasha told the court in Crete the couple's marriage had been breaking down.
She also spoke of Mr Hogan's tragic past, including the deaths of his brothers, Stephen and Paul, who both killed themselves.
'Increasingly angry'
He worked hard to care for his family, she said, but since the birth of their two children, he had become increasingly depressed and unhelpful.
Mrs Hogan said her ex-husband had confronted her about his fear that she was thinking of leaving him after he had tried to kiss her and she had moved away.
"When I moved away, he said, 'You are thinking, aren't you?'
"I said, 'Yes I am'."
"I heard screams and saw something black falling"
She added: "When we discussed our problems, he just said 'I am not talking about this now'."
Mrs Hogan said that on the day of the incident her husband had become increasingly angry and agitated.
She said the couple had been packing to go home early and she had her back to Mr Hogan.
When she turned around he had gone.
The court also heard from a local man, Harilaos Karoulis, who claimed to have seen part of the fall.
Mr Karoulis, who lived next door to the hotel, said: "I heard screams and saw something black falling. It was just a shadow.
"It was very dark but I later heard screams. I ran into the hotel area to see the shadows on the floor. I saw it was a boy."
In a statement read out by a police officer outside court, Mrs Hogan said the past few months had been "trying".
"I am able to say that Mia is much better now and has made a full recovery from the injuries sustained that day," she said.
"She is in regular contact with John's side of the family and enjoys a loving and caring relationship."
Mr Hogan's lawyers had argued he was not mentally fit to stand trial after a series of suicide attempts and should be held in a psychiatric unit.
But psychiatric reports in November found he was fit to stand trial.
Joannis Nestoros, a professor of psychiatry from the University of Crete, told the court that he believed Mr Hogan thought he was "sending his family to heaven" by jumping off the balcony.
He also said he did not think Hogan would have leapt had Mrs Hogan not "said the things she did".
"He was away from reality. He did not know what he was doing. It was not his intention to harm the children.
"He did not even remember he was on the fourth floor - this man was not in a clear state of mind," he said.
The case continues.
