JanN Construction owner Joshua Mills, accused of domestic violence offences, to make bid for bail

The owner of a Toowoomba construction business, accused of vile domestic violence crimes, will apply for bail despite a magistrate ruling he was a ‘clear risk’ to his ex-partner two months ago.

Toowoomba Magistrates Court has been told a man accused of committing a number of serious domestic violence crimes will apply for bail again, despite the same request failing two months ago.

JanN Construction owner Joshua Robert Mills was arrested in March and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, choking causing suffocation or strangulation, and stalking.

The court was told he was on bail for other domestic violence charges when he allegedly the offences.

The alleged offences were committed against Mr Mills’ ex-partner and although he made admissions to the stalking charge, which involved him tracking the woman’s car, he denied the alleged acts of violence, the court heard.

He was also wearing a tracking device as part of his strict bail conditions.

On Thursday, June 22, the court was told a brief of evidence was largely complete, except for documents relating to phone downloads.

In March, magistrate Clare Kelly said given the “very serious” nature of the charges Mr Mills was a “clear risk” to the woman and refused to grant him bail.

Ms Kelly said there were no additional bail conditions to impose to ensure the woman’s safety.

After spending almost two months in police custody, solicitor Alysha Jacobsen informed the court that Mr Mills wanted to make another bail application.

Ms Jacobsen said Mr Mills did not have Legal Aid funding and her firm would not be formally representing him when the matter was next before the court on June 29.

However, Ms Jacobsen said she would appear on his behalf as a “friend of the court”.
