Bachelor star Sam Wood to appeal bail refusal to Supreme Court

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 07:24 · Archive

Former Bachelor reality TV star Sam Wood, 46, has been refused bail on domestic violence charges and will take his fight to Queensland's Supreme Court. His solicitor Mathew Cuskelly confirmed on Friday that Wood would apply for bail at the state's highest court.

Wood was arrested over the weekend following an incident at a holiday unit at Noosa, north of Brisbane. His stepdaughter Eve Markoski-Wood, 21, called police on Saturday night reporting he had harmed her mother, fellow Bachelor star Snezana Wood. According to police prosecutor Jeanette Grigoris, Wood allegedly grabbed his wife by the throat with one hand and threw her against a wall. He then held her throat tightly and restricted her breathing while she was on the ground. Ms Wood was choked to 'cessation of breath' before her head was banged on the floor, Grigoris said. The magistrate heard that Ms Wood believed she was going to die.

Wood's solicitor told the court his client denied there had been any strangulation. Cuskelly said his client's version of events indicated he might be entitled to a self-defence argument, stating there were 'hostilities'. The court also heard that Ms Wood had allegedly been seriously assaulted by her husband three or four years ago in Victoria, but he was not charged at that time. Wood has spent several nights in custody since his arrest.
