A sentence that will be served concurrently with a four-year prison term handed down in April after Jade Mangino pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary with an offensive weapon, recklessly causing injury, theft, burglary and intentionally damaging property.
Mangino was extradited from Queensland in 2018 on charges relating to a violent home invasion and stabbing in Echuca more than two years earlier.
Echuca detectives had travelled to Brisbane where they arrested Mangino as he was released from Woodford Correctional Centre where he had served a two-year and two-month jail sentence for unrelated matters.
Extradition was granted at Caboolture Magistrates Court.
At the time police alleged Mangino broke into a Hare St home early on April 23, 2016, where he brandished a knife and slashed the 63-year-old male occupant to the neck and chest when he refused to give up his car keys.
The victim, who also suffered severe tendon damage to his feet from some broken photo frames, underwent surgery at Echuca hospital the day after the attack and had to have specialist surgery on his feet at another hospital.
Police said Mangino fled to NSW and Queensland soon after before being arrested by Queensland police in May 2016 for other matters.
Victoria Police had also charged Mangino with theft of a firearm, relating to an offence in Echuca on February 23, 2015, and a criminal damage offence in Kyabram.
In the Magistrates Court in Bendigo last week police said Mangino had smashed a car windscreen in Kyabram on March 11, after first jumping onto the car. They also said he had attacked a bystander who had seen it happen.
Police had been forced to use pepper spray to subdue Mangino at his most recent arrest.
In April in Bendigo’s County Court Mangino had pleaded guilty to a raft of charges stretching back to the 2016 events in Echuca.
His four-year sentence stipulated he would not be eligible for parole for a minimum of two years.
