Sam Wood has been refused bail as the court heard he said 'you can both die. I'm going to send you back to your family' during the alleged incident with wife Snezana and stepdaughter Eve in Noosa. 

Despite Wood's family offering a $1million surety, Queensland Supreme Court Justice Patrick McCafferty on Friday afternoon refused the Bachelor star bail, saying that any proposed conditions did not reduce his risk of reoffending or being a risk to the community.  

His Honour described the witness statement of Snezana to police as 'trustworthy and credible evidence in my opinion', and a previous allegation that led to no charges as 'credible'.

In his bail decision, the judge told the court that a witness inside the Noosa apartment could hear 'gasping and a voice becoming muffled' as Wood allegedly assaulted Snezana. 

Snezana was then allegedly 'pushed against wall with hands around her throat. She felt his grip becoming tighter and she couldn't breathe or yell'. 

Then Snezana 'slumped... on the floor' and was seen to hold her neck, the judge said in his bail decision. 

Justice McCafferty said the main reason for refusing bail was Wood's risk of reoffending while on release. 

'The most significant matter is the risk of committing an offence on bail,' he said. 'I do consider he presents a risk of committing an offence on bail.' 

Wood, who has been behind bars for more than a month, was not present in court for the hearing. 

His father, Andrew, sat still and stared straight ahead from the back of the courtroom as the decision was handed down. 

Outside court, Mr Wood Sr looked rattled and agitated as reporters asked if he still stood by his son.

'Of course I stand by him,' he said, before trying to push away from the media pack and cross the road from the scrum.  

The court earlier heard allegations of drug use, partying and increasingly frequent confrontations as Paula Morreau KC argued for the 46-year-old's release to live with his father in Tasmania.

Wood has been on remand since his arrest on October 4, accused of strangling and assaulting Snezana, 45, following an alleged argument at a luxury holiday apartment in Noosa, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

Ms Morreau argued that Wood could spend longer on remand than he would serve in prison if convicted.

She said the proposed strict bail conditions, combined with Wood living interstate, would 'demonstrably reduce the relevant risk' to the community if he were released.

Wood did not appear in court, either in person or by video link from Wolston Correctional Centre, where he is being held.

His marriage came under scrutiny during the application, with the court hearing allegations of alcohol and drug use, arguments and a previous choking incident in 2021.

Ms Morreau told the court Snezana had described significant strain on the relationship in the month before the alleged assault.

'They are expected to separate. There was alleged drug use, alcohol use and a party lifestyle but it is not suggested Wood suffered from addiction.'

Ms Morreau acknowledged that Wood struggled with anger and irritation but said he usually removed himself from confrontations and 'had the capacity for self control'.

'While he struggled with anger and irritation he usually leaves and takes time (and is) willing to avoid confrontation,' she said.

Ms Morreau said the current allegations 'were supported by another witness', while the allegations concerning the earlier incident remained untested. 

The court heard Snezana had kept photographs from an alleged incident in 2021 in which she said Wood had also choked her. 

Crown Prosecutor Jessica Guy told the court Wood's violent 'conduct has escalated' and said police had been called over the previous choking incident in 2021.

She pointed to 'a number of serious features' of the October 3 Noosa incident.

'It was for an extended period of time, there was a degree of force, her ability to speak was removed. Snezana tried to remove his hand or hands from her neck when she hit the skirting board, and he was not deterred despite it occurring largely in the presence of an adult witness and near young children.'

Ms Guy said Sam Wood's risk to the community or others needed to take into account 'the nature of this type of conduct, the nature of strangulation and choking as a predictive risk factor for future domestic violence and escalating domestic violence'.

Prosecutors said they would prefer Wood to remain in Queensland if granted bail. 

However, Ms Morreau argued he would be best placed in Tasmania, citing its island location and the support he would receive from family. 

Under the proposed bail arrangements, Wood would live in Tasmania with his father, Andrew, who has stood by him.

Before the hearing, Wood's father largely declined to comment but said he had not seen his son since he was held in the watch house following his arrest.

Asked if he stood by his son, he replied: 'Yes.'

Asked whether it was a very difficult time, he said: 'Of course it is.'

Wood was arrested after his stepdaughter, Eve Markoski-Wood, 21, called police on October 3, alleging he had harmed her mother at the family's $3,000-a-night La Mer holiday apartment on Hastings Street in Noosa.

Police allege the attack was so severe that Snezana feared she was going to die.

Wood allegedly argued with his wife on the night before the family was due to fly home to Melbourne following their Noosa holiday.

He was arrested and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm (domestic violence) and strangulation in a domestic setting.

Wood was initially held in the Maroochydore watch house before being transferred to Brisbane Correctional Centre and later to Wolston Correctional Centre.

He was previously denied bail in Maroochydore Magistrates Court before taking his bid for release to the Supreme Court.

Since his arrest, Snezana has stopped wearing her wedding ring, and the couple's $6 million mansion in Brighton, Victoria, has been listed for sale.

The couple share three young daughters. Eve is Snezana's daughter from a previous relationship.

During an earlier bail application in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on October 8, police prosecutor Jeanette Grigoris tendered photographs of injuries allegedly sustained by Snezana.

In mounting her opposition to bail, police prosecutor Jeanette Grigoris submitted photos of injuries Snezana allegedly sustained.

She had given strong evidence of claims she was choked to 'cessation of breath', before her head was banged on the floor, Grigoris said.

'She thought she was going to die … she is in fear of retribution,' she said.

Wood's lawyer Mathew Cuskelly previously told the court his client had no criminal record and his version of events indicated he might be entitled to a self-defence argument, saying there had been 'hostilities'.

'He pushed her away. There is denial of any strangulation,' he said.

But Acting Magistrate Janelle Boegheim refused bail, describing the prosecution case as relatively strong and saying consideration for bail could be revisited if the case strength changes. 

Wood earned a national profile as a star of The Bachelor's third season in 2015, launching a successful home fitness business 28 By Sam Wood.

He reportedly sold it in 2022 for more than $70 million but remained the face of the online platform.

The platform was rebranded on Thursday as evvr, removing references to Wood.
