Warren Alan Forbes is behind bars in Kempsey jail over the incident where his victim, also known to police for drug offences, was allegedly assaulted by a co-accused during a break-in.
Forbes had told authorities that he intended to move to Victoria to be with family when released on parole four years ago for the manslaughter of former Black Uhlan bikie Andy Hullick and Wodonga father Ross Kimball.
