A serial criminal has blown up after being refused bail on charges laid over two violent home invasions, during which he allegedly held a machete near a woman's throat and yanked a boy's hair from his head.
"F---ing hell," Ivan Stephen Djerke said when Justice David Mossop remanded him in custody on Tuesday. "This is bullshit."
Djerke, 47, had been seeking bail in the ACT Supreme Court as he awaits a trial on two counts each of aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary, plus a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
