A hairdresser charged with allegedly concealing a murder is likely to apply for bail later this week while her new boyfriend, charged with murder, did not apply for release, a court has heard.

Hairdresser Bonnie Cullen, 33, of Wyong, was not requested to appear in the dock on Monday by her solicitor Luke Del Monte, who told Wyong Local Court she was “not in a position to proceed to a release application”.

Ms Cullen was arrested at a relative’s house at Charmain St, Watanobbi, about 10pm on Saturday, January 28, and charged with concealing a serious indictable offence.

Charge sheets tendered in court allege Ms Cullen was aware of information relating to the alleged murder of Sean Froggatt at a unit in Wyong between 9.30pm on Friday, January 27, and 5.30pm on Saturday, January 28, but did not inform the police.

Her solicitor told the court a bail application was “likely to be filed later this week” and she was formally remanded in custody to appear via video link on March 28.

Her boyfriend of about three months Daniel Paul Hasapis, 30, of Wyong, was also not required to appear when his matter was mentioned briefly at Wyong Local Court on Monday.

He was arrested at a unit on Levitt St, Wyong, about 5.30pm on Saturday and charged with the alleged murder of Mr Froggatt, 52.

He was also charged with the kidnapping of a woman, 44, named in court documents as Mariana Taitoko, in the company of Bonnie Cullen.

Charge sheets allege Mr Hasapis kidnapped the woman between 5pm on Thursday, January 26, and 4.30pm on Saturday, January 28.

Police will allege in court Ms Taitoko was assaulted with a jet lighter but managed to escape the unit about 4.30pm on Saturday when emergency services were notified.

Ms Taitoko was taken to Gosford Hospital where she was treated for burns to her chest and arms.

Police will further allege Ms Taitoko raised concerns about Mr Froggatt’s welfare before his body was discovered inside the Wyong unit.

Mr Hasapis was arrested at the unit a short time later and taken to Wyong Police Station where he was charged.

Police will allege during the 72-hours, Ms Taitoko and Mr Froggatt were inside the housing commission unit rented to Ms Cullen and that Mr Hasapis fatally bashed and tortured Mr Froggatt then hid his body in a bedroom.

Mr Hasapis did not apply for bail and it was formally refused to appear via video link on March 28.
