‘I’ll find you and f--- you up’: Mata Havea’s alleged campaign of threats, chilling texts, and violence

A Mildura woman accused of unleashing a torrent of abuse — vile texts, police threats, and violent assaults — has been denied bail over fears she is too much of a risk to release.

A Mildura woman is accused of sending a barrage of abusive text messages and assaulting several people during an alleged wild crime spree, a court has heard.

Mata Havea, 35, fronted Mildura Magistrates’ Court seeking bail on stalking, assault and threats to kill charges.

The court heard Ms Haves was appearing via an AV Link from the Mildura cells because of her alleged aggressive behaviour toward police.

Police alleged that while Ms Havea was being moved from one cell to another, she threatened a police officer.

”You wait until I get out, I’ll find you on the street and f--k you up,” Ms Havea allegedly said.

It was also claimed Ms Havea had threatened to ”smash the court up,” as well, referring to Mildura Law Court.

One of the alleged messages was read to the court:

“I love tormenting the f--- out of you. Your d--- should be cut off and shoved up your a---. When you die, it’s going to bring peace to the world.”

Police claimed Ms Havea had assaulted another person by punching them in the head more than 20 times and in another alleged incident, Ms Havea’s purported physical abuse led one alleged victim to attempt suicide.

Police informant detective Sergeant Adam Bryer alleged investigators discovered “really disturbing content” on Ms Havea’s phone.

Ms Have’s lawyer Lauren Campbell said no charges had been laid regarding that alleged discovery and questioned how police gained access to the phone.

“There is a point of contention as to how access to Ms Havea’s phone was granted,” Ms Campbell said, adding her client had not given permission and there had been no search warrant issued.

Ms Campbell added that if Ms Havea was not granted bail, it would affect her ability to access services that were helping her with her mental health.

Magistrate Patrick Southey agreed that there was a long list of considerations in Ms Havea’s favour as far as bail was concerned.

Ultimately, though, Mr Southey declined bail saying the risk in releasing her back into the community was too high

“There are just no conditions that can satisfy the risk. She is so volatile, so unwell,” Mr Southey said.

Ms Havea was remanded in custody and is next set to appear in court on January 8.
