There is something sickening and seriously insane about our system of justice. Just remember, as you read this, that the last line is “Both had been granted bail.” The link also has photos.

THE Martin Place gunman Man Monis was acquitted of threatening to shoot his wife just two years ago as a magistrate threw out her application for an AVO, court files reveal.

Less than a year later Noleen Hayson Pal was dead, stabbed and burned alive allegedly by Monis’ new girlfriend Amirah Droudis at his urging.

A picture of Monis as a strange, controlling man who painted water on the naked body and breasts of some of the women who visited him for “spiritual healing” and raped others whole boasting of being a security guard and having firearms has emerged from court files.

He met Ms Pal when she saw his advertisement in a newspaper as a psychic but their relationship was unconventional.

They did not live together but he spent a night or two at a time with her.

He refused to have his name on the birth certificates of his children but when the couple split up, he told lies to the police and the Department of Community Services about her father sexually molesting the oldest boy so he could get custody.

A terrified Ms Pal had told Downing Centre Local Court in January 2012 how the father of her two children had called one night after they had split up and demanded to meet her at McDonald’s at Green Valley.

She went along because it was next to a police station which made her feel safe.

As her parents waited in the car with her two young sons, Monis told her: “If I don’t see the boys more than I see them now, I will make you pay even if I have to shoot you.”

Her parents backed her up in court, standing up for their only child.

Her father, Ashouk Pal, told the court that since 2009, Monis had not been welcome in his home.

Her mother, Marian Pal, said Noleen had been frightened “because she knows how dangerous (he) is.”

On May 30, 2012, the charges against Monis were dismissed by the magistrate and the AVO was dropped.

On April 21, 2013, Ms Pal was visiting his Werrington unit to pick up their two boys after a custody visit when she was attacked, accelerant poured over her and set on fire.

Droudis, who has since married Monis, is charged with murder and due to appear in court on February 27 next year.

Monis had been charged with being an accessory before and after the fact to murder. It was alleged that he had incited, procured, aided and counselled her and then afterwards, he had “received, harboured, maintained and assisted” her.

Both had been granted bail.

So tell me. Is she still out on bail?
