A man with "many convictions" was helping a friend when he armed himself with a long carving knife before storming into a unit, grabbing a machete and inflicting injuries on a victim before his own blood trail led police to him.
The ACT Supreme Court on Thursday heard Villiam Bo Pikula, armed with a long carving knife, and another man, armed with a baseball bat or something similar, went to a Reid unit in July 2021 where they were examining a lock on the screen door.
