## Summary

Sam Wood’s lawyer told the Supreme Court that he and his wife, Snezana, are expected to separate, as he seeks bail after nearly a month in custody. Wood is accused of assaulting and strangling her during an argument at a Noosa holiday apartment; the allegations have not been decided in court.

The bail hearing included claims of drug and alcohol use, frequent arguments and a previous choking incident in 2021, which remains untested. Wood’s lawyer proposed that he live with his father in Tasmania under strict conditions, arguing this would reduce risks and that he could spend longer on remand than any prison term if convicted. Prosecutors said they would prefer him to remain in Queensland.
