IT’S a little over 13 hours since Evie Amati allegedly brutally attacked customers with a long-handled axe in a 7 Eleven store in suburban Sydney.

On dramatic CCTV recorded inside the Enmore convenience store gas station in Sydney’s inner west, Ms Amati can be seen allegedly bringing the axe down on the heads of a man and a woman at the cash register.

The time was around 2.20am on Saturday January 7, 2017.

A police video of the accused recorded in the afternoon of the same day shows the 24-year-old outwardly calm and speaking in a steady, low voice.

Sitting inside the Kings Cross Police Station, Ms Amati is still dressed in the black top and shorts she can be seen in during the alleged attack just over half a day earlier.

Her blonde hair is long and she has visible tattoos down her arms.

It’s just after 4pm and when she responds to the questions of Detective Senior Constable James Russell, it is in a seemingly measured monotone.

Both the video of the alleged axe attack and the recorded police interview by Ms Amati were played to the jury in her current NSW District Court trial on charges of wound with intent to murder.

Detective Russell asks Ms Amati to state her full name and date of birth.

She leans forward slightly and says, “My name is Evie Amati. My date of birth is first of May 1992.”

Detective Russell then asks, “Your rights were explained by the custody manager and you were given a copy of them. Do you want to exercise any of those rights now?”

Amati: “Yes. I am exercising my right to silence.”

Russell: “Okay … do you agree you were placed under arrest by police in the early hours of this morning? Approximately three o’clock a.m. on Stanmore Road in Enmore?”

Amati: “I respectfully choose to exercise my right to remain silent.”

Russell: “Do you agree your were taken to, initially RPA Hospital then St Vincents Hospital for treatment?”

Amati: “I respectfully choose to exercise my right to remain silent.”

Russell: “Is there anything you are willing to say in regards to the allegations put before you today?”

Amati: “I respectfully choose to exercise my right to remain silent.”

Detective Russell then asks Ms Amati her current address, which she responds to with the location of the Enmore house she lived in before her arrest.

Russell: “How long have you been there?”

Amati: “Not long.”

Ms Amati also answers when asked her mobile phone number, but then Detective Russell asks her what she was doing last night.

She replies, “ I respectfully decline to answer that question”.

Russell: “The allegation is you used an axe to strike someone in the head, in an unprovoked attack … that was captured on CCTV footage, quite clear footage. Do you have a comment on that at all?”

Amati: “I respectfully decline to answer that question.”

Detective Russell asks the accused if she has a comment on why that happens.

Ms Amati again “respectfully declines to answer”

He shows her a still of the CCTV image of the alleged axe attack and asks if it is her, and again she respectfully exercises her right to silence.

Detective Russell asks several more questions about the evening which has just passed and Ms Amati declines to answer.

The trial, before Judge Mark Williams, has heard evidence from three alleged victims, Ben Rimmer, Sharon Hacker and Shane Redwood.

Police, ambulance officers and doctors have also given testimony to the trial.

Ms Amati’s barrister Charles Waterstreet told the trial on its first day that Ms Amati was on a cocktail of drugs and had “lost her mind”.

He said, “The CCTV captures the body of Ms Amati, there is no doubt.

“The question you have to decide is where was her mind?”
