Accused balcony killer Gable Tostee has taken to Facebook again to discuss his alleged victim.

Tostee wrote on the social media site that Warriena Wright, 26, attempted a high-rise jump "not even the world's most skilled acrobats could achieve" before she fell to her death.

Tostee also addressed claims he "violently assaulted" the Kiwi tourist, describing it as "entirely concocted and unsubstantiated by evidence".

"In fact the opposite is true — I was the one being repeatedly assaulted, and I did what any sensible person would do by disarming her and separating myself from her.

"That she would immediately and without warning attempt to swing off the sheer face to the balcony below, a feat probably not even the world's most skilled acrobats could achieve, is not something ... I should be held responsible for.

"I understand that when a tragedy occurs it is natural for people to want to blame someone, but ... I feel the utmost sympathy for the deceased and those close to her."

Tostee and Wright met on dating app Tinder in August of last year. They continued their evening together at Tostee’s 14th floor Surfer’s Paradise apartment.

Police allege Wright was scared Tostee would kill her, so she attempted to climb to a lower balcony but slipped and plunged 14 floors to her death.

Tostee, who has previously bragged online about sleeping with 150 women, recorded most of night on his phone and police allege he can be heard locking Wright out.

He will face a murder charge in court next month.

He defended himself against the charges on Facebook for the first time two days ago.

Last week Tostee was released on parole for an unrelated charge. To celebrate his release, the 29-year-old posted a meme of Arnold Schwarznegger smoking a cigar, with the words “I’m back”.
