A woman accused of planning to smother a man who lay paralysed after an earlier alleged plot to kill him has changed her bail address - just a fortnight after being released from custody.
Letiticia Fortune, 34, of Everard Park, is charged with the attempted murder of Jonathon Hawtin who was the ex-partner of her then lover, Lisa Lines, 43.
The court has previously heard Mr Hawtin had been rendered a tetraplegic in an earlier attempt on his life involving an axe, which police allege was orchestrated by Ms Lines and another of her lovers, Zacharia Bruckner, 36.
Both Ms Lines and Mr Bruckner have not entered pleas.
Ms Fortune appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday to ask the court to vary her home detention bail address to live at Brahma Lodge.
Andrew Williams, for Ms Fortune, said he was appearing in court because the variation was not able to be done in chambers, even though it was not opposed by prosecutors.
Magistrate Justin Wickers granted the variation.
Ms Fortune was arrested last month and charged with one count of attempted murder. She is yet to enter a plea.
After a week in custody, she was released on bail from the Adelaide Women’s Prison on December 4 to live at the Everard Park share house where she had been living for three years.
The court has previously heard Ms Fortune had allegedly confessed the plan in text messages to another person, who was neither Ms Lines, nor Mr Bruckner.
“(They are) messages in which Ms Fortune made admissions that she had planned to smother Mr Hawtin with a pillow and that her and the co-accused Ms Lines had planned for Ms Fortune to attend on the New Year’s Day (2018) in the early hours of the morning because there would be less security working,” Ms Ward said.
“Ms Fortune had also made admissions that Ms Lines had suggested that she come off her medication in case she got caught and that way she could plead insanity.”
Ms Fortune is subject to strict bail conditions which remain unchanged and include electronic monitoring and non-contact clauses with Ms Lines and Mr Bruckner.
All three accused are next scheduled to return to court in May next year.
