A coronial inquest heard Momtaz Kabbout's body was found face down at Shortland Brush Lookout in Sydney's southwest in July 2012.

Two mobile phones and $400 cash were found in his pockets, ruling out robbery as the motive.
Counsel assisting the coroner Ben Hart told the court that Kabbout and his wife - who he lived with in Fairfield - were both having affairs.
'It came to light within the investigation that Kabbout was involved sexually with several other women,' he said.
