Bail has been refused for a Lillian Rock man who allegedly forced his pregnant de facto partner to dig her own grave before locking her inside their house and attempting to finish the job himself.
Twenty-eight-year-old Jed Vincent appeared in Lismore Local Court yesterday on charges of assault, intimidation and detaining a person.
Police allege Vincent assaulted his 30-weeks-pregnant partner before forcing her to start digging the grave, which they say is big enough to hold a human body.
They further allege he then assaulted her again before locking her in a bedroom of the house.
The woman waited until her partner fell asleep before escaping and raising the alarm.
Vincent is due to face court again on December 4.
This horrible violent man needs to be locked up and the key thrown into the ocean – so he doesn’t harm any more women and children. This is not the first time and it won’t be the last. He has been in jail before – why do they keep letting these idiots out??
