A 22-year-old Margate man who was charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm whilst armed/in company in October last year, faced the Murri Court on Thursday, February 27.
On October 10, the man allegedly stabbed one man with a screwdriver at a food and drink establishment on Reed Street. Shortly after, he then allegedly stabbed a second man with the same screwdriver at the Glass House Mountains Station.
His matter has been adjourned at the Maroochydore Magistrates Court multiple times since his first appearance. By going through the Murri Court, the Margate man will join a program to connect with culture and elders.
A report will then be provided to the court, and the progress will be considered by the judge at sentencing.
The judge expressed concern on whether he would be able to attend the program, travelling from Margate to the Coast. But the man insisted he would be able to attend, despite holding a Learners Licence.
His next mention will be on Thursday, March 27 at the Maroochydore Magistrates Court.
