Sam Wood seeks bail nearly a month after arrest over alleged domestic offences
Sam Wood is due to appear in Brisbane’s Supreme Court on Friday to seek bail, nearly a month after his arrest over alleged domestic violence offences against his wife, Snezana. The case concerns allegations made after an argument at the couple’s holiday accommodation in Noosa; Wood denies strangling her, and his lawyer has said he may argue self-defence.
Wood faces charges of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting. At an earlier bail hearing, the court heard allegations that he grabbed Snezana by the throat, threw her against a wall and restricted her breathing; his stepdaughter called emergency services. His lawyers will also seek non-publication orders, while the fitness business associated with Wood has rebranded as Evvr after its parent company ended commercial arrangements with him.
In short
- Sam Wood is seeking bail after almost a month in custody.
- He denies strangulation and may argue self-defence.
- His fitness business has rebranded as Evvr.
Explained simply
Sam Wood is an Australian fitness entrepreneur who became widely known after appearing on the television dating show The Bachelor Australia, where he met Snezana. They later married and have a family together.
The case involves allegations arising from an argument at the couple’s holiday accommodation in Noosa, Queensland. Wood faces charges of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting; he denies strangling his wife, and his lawyer has said self-defence may be raised. A charge is an accusation, and the allegations have not been proven in court.
Wood also founded a fitness business that became known through his public profile. Its parent company has since ended its commercial arrangements with him and rebranded the business as Evvr.
