Sam Wood seeks bail in Supreme Court after weeks in prison

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 05:50 · Archive

Former Bachelor star Sam Wood has lodged a fresh bail application in Queensland Supreme Court after being held for almost three weeks.

Sam Wood, 46, was arrested on October 3 at a property in Noosa on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting. He is accused of assaulting his wife Snezana during a family holiday. His lawyers have now lodged a bail application in the Queensland Supreme Court after an initial bail bid was refused at Maroochydore Magistrates Court.

Wood has been held at Wolston Correctional Centre in Brisbane since his bail was refused. He has been moved to a separate wing under a safety order. His lawyer previously told the court that Wood was suffering from 'extremely severe' depression and he is subject to regular welfare checks.

During the initial bail hearing, prosecutors cited the seriousness of the charges and concerns Wood could flee Queensland, pointing to his Melbourne home and resources to leave the jurisdiction. The court heard the alleged incident began after the family returned from dinner, when Snezana wanted to pack for their flight home while Wood wanted to go to bed. Acting Magistrate Janelle Boegheim told the court Wood allegedly yelled at Snezana and pushed her into a wardrobe. The Supreme Court bail hearing is scheduled for November 4.
