SALEM – A Superior Court judge on Monday decided a Peabody man who allegedly barged into the Lynn home of his estranged wife last winter and attacked her male companion at knifepoint is too dangerous to release on bail.Raphael Zammit, 30, of 8 Aborn St., Peabody faces charges of home invasion, armed assault with intent to murder, armed assault in a dwelling, assault and battery, threats to commit the crime to kill and violation of a restraining order – allegations he has denied.”He was released on conditions out of Lynn District Court and he egregiously violated them. He went after Mr. Jones (the victim),” Judge Timothy Q. Feeley said while handing down his decision.The charges arise from an incident on the night of Feb. 26 when Zammit allegedly barged into his estranged wife’s home at 180 Judge Road shortly before 8 p.m.Once inside, Zammit apparently attacked 30-year-old Jarred Jones with a knife, causing a slash to his hand.As the attack escalated, Zammit also threatened to kill him, according to reports.Zammit fled the scene following the incident and was arrested later that day in Lynn.At the time of the incident, his 26-year-old estranged wife had a restraining order out against him, prohibiting him from having any contact with her and to stay away from her home.When Zammit was arraigned two weeks ago in Salem Superior Court, Assistant District Attorney Marsha H. Slingerland moved to have Zammit held without bail because she felt that he posed a danger to his wife and the victim.She provided Feeley with various police reports, grand jury minutes and a recording of the district court hearing in which the judge released Zammit on conditions.Slingerland also provided Feeley with a police report regarding a second alleged assault on Jones.Salem Superior Court defense lawyer Mark G. Miliotis argued Monday for conditions of release, proposing a cash bail with a monitoring tracking device and house arrest.Miliotis also cited Zammit’s ties to the community and family support.But Feeley quickly pointed out that while Zammit was previously free, he violated the terms of his release and “went after Mr. Jones.”On March 22, nearly a month after the attack, Zammit apparently went to the East Shore Athletic Club in Revere and attacked Jones again inside the club.”He had three weeks to cool down from the events in February, was released on conditions, but went after Mr. Jones,” Feeley explained as he ordered Zammit held without bail pending his trial.The case was continued to July 21 for a pretrial conference.In the meantime, Zammit remains held without bail at the Nashua Street County Jail in Suffolk County.A conviction on the home invasion charge carries a potential life sentence, armed assault in a dwelling also carries a potential life sentence, armed assault with intent to murder carries up to 20 years in state prison and assault and battery carries a punishment of up to 30 months in jail.
