Overview
- Lauren Darul, 32, withdrew her bail application and will stay on remand, with her next court date set for November 25.
- Court reporting says Darul now faces 17 charges stemming from the October 2 attack on 36-year-old sushi chef Wan Lai.
- Police and court documents state Darul was on bail at the time, had missed a medication and mental health appointment, and was reported missing from Make Room.
- Lai suffered a hemo-pneumothorax requiring an emergency chest tube and has since relocated while continuing her recovery.
- Lai’s family says meaningful contact from victim services only came after media coverage, as the housing minister ordered a review of Make Room’s safety and service model.
