...
Two women in their early 20s were flown to the Flinders Medical Centre with serious injuries and remain in hospital in a stable condition.
Superintendent James Blandford said the two women had been driving "with a newly acquainted person" and "effectively found themselves in a situation that has turned out to be scary and physically bad for them".
"One of the victims was able to run away and came across some people fishing in the area," he said.
One of the women sustained serious head injuries.
...
the man had been charged with a sexual offence, meaning his identity was automatically suppressed under state law.
Defence counsel applied for a home detention bail report, but Mr Foley declined to order one, saying he saw little chance he would be convinced the man should be released, given the gravity of the charges.
