Our client was alleged to have engaged in a home invasion that inflicted both fear and physical injuries to the young couple residing within that house. Our client was allegedly known to the victims and the incident was reported to the Police soon after. Several hours later, Police attended our client’s home and placed him under arrest.
Our client was charged with several offences relating to the home invasion. One of the charges included aggravated break and enter with intent under s 113(2) of the Crimes Act 1900, which carries a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment. Our client was also charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm under s 59(1) of the Crimes Act 1900, which carries a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment.
Our client was refused bail from the police station and was placed in custody.
Our client was very distressed by this situation and rightfully decided to contact Oxford Lawyers and retain Principal Solicitor and Accredited Criminal Law Specialist Mr Zemarai Khatiz. Mr Khatiz represented our client before Newcastle Local Court and submitted a strong bail application with strict conditions. The magistrate was persuaded to grant bail under strict conditions.
Our client was extremely pleased with this result. This meant that he was able to stay out of jail and to defend the matter whilst being in the community.
