Last month, Lazenby, 31, pleaded guilty to unlawful assault and breaching court orders, after admitting to attacking his mother, Beau at her home in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood, on March 8. 

 

BBC News reports that Lazenby had been released on bail from Melbourne Remand Centre on May 5, after being ordered to undergo substance abuse treatment and avoid contact with his mother for the next two years.
