 An Australian man has been acquitted of the murder of a New Zealand woman during their first Tinder date. 
 
 Gable Tostee, 30, was charged after Warriena Wright, 26, fell from his balcony in Queensland's Gold Coast in August 2014. 
 
 Prosecutors argued that she was so intimidated that she tried to escape by climbing to a lower floor, but fell. 
 
 After four days of deliberation, the jury found him not guilty of murder and manslaughter. 
 
 Defence lawyer Nick Dore said outside the court that his client was "relieved this matter is now behind him and he's looking forward to moving on with his life". 
 
 'Just let me go home' 
 
 Mr Tostee and Ms Wright connected on the popular dating app Tinder and exchanged messages back and forth. 
 
 They met in person for the first time on 7 August 2014 at a seaside resort called Surfers Paradise. Hours later Ms Wright plunged to her death from his 14th storey balcony. 
 
 During the trial, the key piece of evidence was a 199-minute audio recording of her pleading to be allowed to leave the apartment. 
 
 The recording was found on Mr Tostee's phone after he made a decision to secretly record their altercation before Ms Wright's fall, according to the Australian media. 
 
 Prosecutors said the recording proved his guilt, while his defence lawyers said it showed he was innocent. 
 
 Mr Tostee can be heard saying Ms Wright physically assaulted him after allegedly throwing ornamental rocks at him. 
 
 "You're lucky I haven't chucked you off my balcony," Mr Tostee says on the recording made on his phone. "If you try to pull anything, I'll knock you out." 
 
 Ms Wright is later heard saying "just let me go home", after he allegedly locked her on the balcony. ||||| Gable Tostee trial: Jury hears recording of Warriena Wright's final moments alive

 A Supreme Court jury has listened to Warriena Wright's last words moments before she fell to her death from the 14th floor balcony of Gable Tostee's Gold Coast apartment in the early hours of the morning on August 8, 2014. 
 
 Tostee, 30, has pleaded not guilty to murdering the 26-year-old New Zealand tourist, whom he met that night via the Tinder dating app. 
 
 He was living in the apartment at the time. 
 
 Prosecutor Glen Cash told the court the audio recording from Tostee's mobile phone was a key piece of evidence in the case against him. 
 
 The crown began to play the recording to the jury on Monday, and day two of the trial began Tuesday with the remainder of the recording being played to the court. 
 
 In the audio, Ms Wright can be heard yelling "no, no, no" before being forced out onto the balcony with the sounds of a door closing behind her. 
 
 Seconds later, there is silence from Ms Wright with only the sound of Tostee breathing being heard. 
 
 Tostee's phone also recorded him leaving his apartment building and calling his father. 
 
 "Hello dad, I might have a bit of a situation," Tostee said. 
 
 "I met up with a girl for a date ... she started getting really aggressive. We had sex in bed and then after that she kept drinking." 
 
 Tostee went on to explain that he and Ms Wright had both been drunk, that she kept beating him up and that he forced her onto the balcony. 
 
 "I think she might've jumped off ... there's like a million cops," he said. 
 
 "I'm f***ed, I don't know what to do. I didn't cause this, I didn't push her or anything." 
 
 Tostee is then picked up by his father who suggested calling criminal lawyer Bill Potts, but he could not get through. 
 
 "I hope she's not dead. What if she's dead, what if she jumped?'" Tostee said. 
 
 His father replied: "Don't worry, there's nothing you can do about that." 
 
 Tostee also asked his father to drive past the apartment building so he could see what was happening.

– Gable Tostee has been acquitted of murder charges stemming from the 2014 death of 26-year-old tourist Warriena Wright, who fell to her death from his balcony after meeting the Australian 30-year-old on Tinder. After a long night of drinking, the pair ended up on less-than-friendly terms, and Tostee locked Wright on the balcony. Drunk and locked out of his apartment, Wright, who was visiting from New Zealand, tried to climb down the fire escape, but fell. Prosecutors argued Tostee was guilty of murder or manslaughter because he had intimidated Wright to the point that she feared for her own safety. But, as the BBC reports, a Queensland jury didn't buy that argument, acquitting Tostee of all charges after four days of deliberations. The piece of evidence at the heart of the case is an hours-long recording Tostee secretly made of the conversation between the two. The recording shows a charged night that included consensual sex, multiple arguments and bouts of physical violence, and several instances of discussing death, even including the idea of falling off the balcony. Minutes before locking her out on the balcony, Tostee can be heard on the recording claiming that Wright had attacked him. "You're lucky I haven't chucked you off my balcony," he says. "If you try to pull anything, I'll knock you out." The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has other relevant excerpts from the recording. Prosecutors argued the recording proved that Tostee had terrified Wright to the point that she tried to run away from him, while defense attorneys argued Tostee was trying to protect himself from a drunk and unstable woman.
