Peter Nash let a mental group know that he had been "furious with his better half" and had "stood up to her with an image of her with another man", Ipswich Crown Court hears.
A man killed his significant other and their girl in the wake of figuring out his better half was having an unsanctioned romance, a court has been told.
Peter Nash, 47, denies killing 43-year-old Jillu Nash and their mentally unbalanced little girl Louise, 12, at their home in Extraordinary Waldingham, Sudbury, Suffolk, last September.
Investigator David Josse KC told Ipswich Crown Court that Mrs Nash had "went into a relationship" with work partner Imprint Leamey by mid 2022.
She had moved toward leaving her significant other and "setting up home" with Mr Leamey, as per Mr Josse.
"The respondent and Mrs Nash had a troublesome and miserable marriage," he said.
"They wedded in 2009 and the anxieties and kinds of that relationship were without a doubt compounded by Peter Nash losing his employment by overt repetitiveness in 2020."
Nash was "generally liable for the consideration of their medically introverted girl Louise", who was "non-verbal, simply ready to say a couple of words", Mr Josse said.
Mr Josse said Mrs Nash had recorded a few discussions she had with her significant other - including one final August when he referred to her as "a rogue who made disarray gain consideration".
"At the point when he recommended she had been undermining him for nearly four months, she rectified him and let him know it was eight months," said Mr Josse.
Mrs Nash and Mr Leamey were seen together on 7 September, the investigator said.
It is claimed that Nash killed his significant other and girl either late that day or promptly the next day, killing Mrs Nash by packing her neck, and killing Louise with a solitary wound to the mid-region.
A smell of gas
Police went to the home on 8 September after Mrs Nash neglected to turn up for work and Louise didn't show up at school.
Mr Josse said that police at the house could smell gas and called the fire administration.
Mrs Nash was found in the lounge room while Louise was found on a bed covered with a sheet.
'Incapacitated by police with a Taser'
Nash was close to his girl with "various shallow... in total serious cut injuries" and "still possessing a blade", Mr Josse said, adding that the respondent "must be incapacitated by police with a Taser".
He later let a mental group know that he had been "irate with his significant other" and had "defied her with an image of her with another man".
The preliminary, because of last as long as about a month and a half, proceeds.
