Heath Allan Bennett, 44, was allegedly one of three men involved in an attack on two men in a Wollomombi home in May.

Police investigations into the incident are continuing with Bennett the only suspect arrested and charged at this stage.

He had previously pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in company and a charge of aggravated break and enter commit a serious indictable offence in company.

He claimed he wasn’t at the house at the time of the attack.

Defence solicitor Yvonne Phillippous represented Bennett in Armidale Local Court on Wednesday, acting on behalf of fellow solicitor Patrick Kennedy.

She indicated next time the case was in court there would be an application to determine which witnesses would be required for cross-examination.

Crown prosecutor Peter Woods said while police investigations were continuing, evidence, such as CCTV footage, had been collated.

In court Ms Phillippous also asked if Bennett’s bail conditions could be varied to remove his 10pm to 6am curfew.

But Magistrate Karen Stafford said his bail would continue in the same terms as set down in July by Magistrate Peter Miszalski.

This included a variation to allow Bennett to reside in Bundarra during the week as he had a job in the town.

The case was adjourned until September 3 with interim apprehended violence orders for the protection of the victims of the assault to continue until then.
