Description
Independent MP Helen Haines remains in a critical condition in the Alfred Hospital, and her husband says she has had both legs amputated after the alleged attack.
The man accused of the attack, Brendan Nugent, has appeared in the Wangaratta Magistrates Court, where no application for bail was made and he will remain in custody.
The motive for the attack is still unknown and the case returns to court on February 4, so what happens next?
