A man who slashed a paramedic on her way home from work on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula should be jailed, prosecutors say. Adam Bardic, 48, slashed the woman twice with a box cutter in front of her young daughters as she picked up fish and chips for dinner on July 13 last year. He pinned the 46-year-old to her car and cut her, leaving a deep 15cm long gash across her upper chest before casually riding away on his bike while she compressed the wound and called triple-0. In a pre-sentence hearing on Monday, prosecutors called for Bardic to be handed an immediate prison term. He’s been in custody for more than a year awaiting sentence. Bardic’s lawyers have instead asked that he be placed on a community corrections order, and that any prison terms be served concurrently. County Court Judge Duncan Allen heard Bardic suffered an acquired brain injury after being bashed with a baseball bat in 2013, and that he required a skull reconstruction and neurological rehabilitation after two further beatings in 2014. Both Bardic’s parents and one of his two daughters have died while he has been in custody.

A senior Victoria Police officer has pleaded guilty to 10 fraud offences, including dishonestly obtaining six properties and rorting Centrelink, following a major investigation by the state’s corruption watchdog. Sergeant Rosa Catherine Rossi, 57, also pleaded guilty in the Melbourne Magistrates Court to unauthorised access of the police database, LEAP, and falsely claiming in statutory declarations that her name was Dianne Marshall and she lived in Endeavour Hills. In 2005, she declared bankruptcy under her former name Rossa Catherine Marguglio, owing more than $750,000 to several banks and racking up massive debts on several different credit cards. Rossi became familiar with the financial system while working as a teller at a bayside bank. At the same time she also worked as a beautician at a nursing home in Cheltenham. She left both jobs under a cloud.
