A Loganlea father allegedly shot at his partner and three other people in a car, held a shotgun to her head and beat her brutally, a court has heard.

Daniel Maric, 23, was denied bail at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on February 13, 2023 for charges of intending to maim or disfigure, grievous bodily harm, dangerous conduct with a weapon and unlawful stalking (domestic violence offences).

The court heard that on December 5 last year in Redland Bay, the father of one allegedly held a loaded sawn-off shotgun to the head of his partner and threatened to blow her head off.

He was found in possession of the shotgun and 30 rounds of ammunition.

The court also heard that on the same day he and another man allegedly used the weapon to shoot at a car full of four people he suspected were hiding his partner from him.

Witnesses said they saw the man responsible for the shooting wearing a black balaclava and the car was struck by bullets.

Text messaged allegedly sent by Maric were read out to the court which incriminated him in the attack.

“I shot these shit talking C***’s car up yesterday morning, we are now going for blood,” allegedly said Maric.

The victim told Police her ear was severely damaged from the gunshots and thought she would lose permanent hearing in her right ear.

Her left ear also required surgery.

Prior to the shooting, on November 29 Maric allegedly hit his partner in the face brutally and was charged with grievous bodily harm for this incident.

Maric was denied bail and will appear again in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on February 22 for a mention.
