The evidence is important if he could state something he witnessed.

Being a neighbor, it is an important witness.

I agree. That he heard s etc will be important to show that there was discord between spouses. Whether hubby is the culprit or the wife?

In a matrimonial cause where chances to evidence facts largely associates with spouses and/or their relatives testimony
of a neighbour would be of great importance
for whatever he successfully proves as an independent witness.
