MOTHER ACCUSED OF STABBING A TEACHER SEEKS MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT
A mother accused of stabbing a teacher during the morning drop-off at a Byron Bay primary school, has been granted conditional bail on mental health grounds.
The 33-year-old – who cannot be named – will be admitted to a public hospital for treatment.
She’ll be guarded by corrective services officers, as she’s still considered a risk to the community.
The Suffolk Park woman allegedly attacked 28-year-old Zane Vockler with a pair of scissors on April 30, sending the school into lockdown.
The matter returns to court in October.
