Milica Stamenkovic told Elizabeth security guard she would ‘stab’ him in the throat during assault, court hears

A court has heard disturbing new allegations against a woman accused of slashing an Adelaide security guard after allegedly shoplifting Lego.

A woman who allegedly punched a security guard multiple times to the face, and sliced his arm open with a razor blade, also threatened to stab him in the throat, a court has heard.

On Thursday, Milica Stamenkovic wept in the Adelaide Magistrates Court via video link as her council applied for home detention bail.

Omar Ali, for Ms Stamenkovic, 27, told the court support from the NDIS had been offered to her “for the first time”.

But prosecutors told magistrate Brian Nitschke they were opposed to all forms of bail due to her risk of reoffending, risk of non-compliance with bail conditions and the seriousness of the allegations.

The court heard in October last year, Ms Stamenkovic – the first of two sisters charged over the incident – allegedly pushed a security guard at Elizabeth City Centre before punching him to the face and leaving with stolen goods.

The guard pursued the sisters to the Elizabeth bus interchange across the road, where Ms Stamenkovic allegedly assaulted and cut him with a blade during an altercation.

“The defendant got in the (guard’s) face and said words to the effect of, ‘don’t touch her or I’ll stab you in your throat’ multiple times,” prosecutors told the court.

The guard was allegedly slashed multiple times to the arm, and two lacerations required stitches after the altercation.

The court heard Ms Stamenkovic had numerous pending files for similar offending, and had been subject to multiple bail agreements at the time of the assault.

Mr Ali told the court his client has prior diagnoses of PTSD and schizophrenia and had been offered accommodation with an NDIS provider.

Mr Ali said the Andrews Farm woman would be provided a carer for six hours a day, and would be the first time she would have received this level of support.

“It’s quite different from her history, Your Honour, which is somewhat dated … but more so she didn’t have those supports in place, she now does,” Mr Ali said.

“It would be a wasted opportunity Your Honour, for her not to be able to reside at that address with NDIS support that has never been offered previously.”

Mr Ali told the court he would be looking into a Section 269 defence, to see if his client was mentally competent at the time of the offending.

Mr Nitschke read her the charges, and Ms Stamenkovic remained silent on the screen.

He recorded a not guilty plea to one count of aggravated causing harm with intent.

Mr Nitschke refused her application for bail.

The matter will move to the District Court in July.
