Terror bride said she liked beheadings

The teenage wife of Sydney terror suspect Sameh Bayda has an infatuation with violence and once said she could watch beheadings all day, a court has heard.

Alo-Bridget Namoa, 19, faced a sentence hearing in Sydney on Wednesday for refusing to answer the NSW Crime Commission's questions about an alleged planned terror act.

In a bid to highlight the seriousness of her offences prosecutor Matt Karpin referred to a psychiatrist's report from June that noted Namoa had revealed she liked watching beheadings.

"I can watch it all day," she was reported as having told the psychiatrist according to Mr Karpin.

Asked why, she replied "I don't know" and added "I like it" but clarified "I could never do that to anyone", Mr Karpin told Central Local Court.

Namoa's lawyer Sophie Toomey said the teenager was psychotic at the time of the report and has since been taking medication.

She was arrested after being hauled before the commission in February following Bayda's arrest on charges of collecting documents connected with terrorism.

According to a tendered statement of facts, Namoa told the commission she supported Islamic State but refused to answer a number of other questions, including whether Bayda, 19, had intended committing a terrorist act.

She also wouldn't say why she had allegedly downloaded a document called Suicide and Martyrdom or why she possessed an ebook titled How to Survive the West with information on how to carry out attacks, according to the statement of facts.

Namoa appeared by video link from Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre wearing a black headscarf covering her hair and neck and kept mostly silent during the hearing.

She faces up to two years' jail after pleading guilty to 31 charges of refusing to answer a question at a crime commission hearing.

She is also facing separate charges of possessing a hunting knife and documents in connection with a terrorist act.

Mr Karpin said all the evidence showed Namoa had an "infatuation with violence" and had refused to answer questions despite numerous warnings of the consequences.

But Ms Toomey said teenager had kept quiet out of loyalty to her husband, not some sinister motive.

"This was a young woman who, in her mind, was protecting the man she married and loved," she told the court.

Magistrate Beverley Schurr adjourned sentencing until October 6.
