Alleged wheelie bin love triangle murderer Sheree May Glastonbury has been denied bail yet again, despite complaining the cord of the machine she needs to breathe at night is too short to use in jail.
On Monday, and after a number of hearings, Magistrate Simon Smart refused Ms Glastonbury’s bid for home detention bail due to “special circumstances”.
Ms Glastonbury had claimed she requires a C-PAP machine to sleep at night, owing to sleep apnea, but prison authorities were not regularly providing her with one.
She further claimed that, on occasions where the machine was provided, its “cord was too short” to reach her bed in her cell.
On Monday, Mr Smart received a report from the Department for Correctional Services which, he said, “addressed all concerns raised”.
“I’m not satisfied special circumstances are made out,” he said.
“And in any event, I would refuse bail on what I perceive to be the serious nature of the offending.”
Ms Glastonbury, 49, and Mark Murphy, 51, have yet to plead to charges including murder, attempted murder, assault and serious criminal trespass.
Prosecutors have alleged they subjected Mr McLean to a months-long campaign of home invasions and violence before finally murdering him.
Mr Murphy’s twin brother, Peter James Murphy, 51, and his partner Lynette Sexton, 50, have yet to plead to charges of aiding and abetting the murder.
Prosecutors have alleged they aided in removing and storing Mr McLean’s body as part of “a conspiracy”.
While in custody, Ms Glastonbury has fought orders severing her access to a home and cars she claims are hers, but which prosecutors have alleged belonged to Mr McLean.
Opposing her bail application, they further alleged she:
ARRANGED for her two other lovers to repeatedly assault, and unsuccessfully attempt to murder, Mr McLean prior to taking matters into her own hands.
USED a stolen wheelie bin and a rental truck to dispose of his body and cleaning products to remove his bloodstains from her carport’s concrete floor.
SENT hundreds of text messages to her alleged co-conspirators, one of whom she deemed “stupid” because his acid-throwing attack “went nowhere near” Mr McLean.
REFUSED to return the hire truck used to dump Mr McLean’s body, prompting her co-accused to call her asking “hey murderer, where’s the truck?”.
GAVE prison inmates disgusting descriptions of Mr McLean’s corpse and claimed she “is f***ed” if police find the mobile phone of one of her lovers.
THREATENED violence against her current lover and denounced her mother as a “spastic c**t” who is “inbred” and “f***ing slagging me off”.
On Monday, Mr Smart remanded Ms Glastonbury in custody to face court again next month, alongside her co-accused.
