A man accused of burning and stabbing a screaming Canberra woman has admitted deliberately injuring the victim, but he denies he acted with intent to kill her.
Daryl Allan Robertson appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday afternoon, facing five charges.
He has been behind bars on remand since September last year, when passers-by called triple zero after hearing a woman screaming in her Charnwood backyard late at night.
