It will be alleged Mr Sikorsky assaulted a 32-year-old woman and threatened her with a gun inside a vehicle at a service station in the Logan suburb of Daisy Hill about 7am on June 5.
It will also be alleged Mr Sikorsky attacked the same woman, who was known to him, two days later as they were driving along the Gateway Motorway in the east Brisbane suburb of Tingalpa.
Police have accused Mr Sikorsky of punching the woman several times in the head and pushing her into the car window, resulting in swelling and bruising to her face.
The woman reported the alleged attacks on Monday after Mr Sikorsky was arrested on Saturday night following an alleged 27-hour siege at a Sunshine Coast unit complex.
Mr Sikorsky has been hit with extra charges including two counts of attempted murder and one count each of torture and assault occasioning bodily harm.
He was due to re-appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on September 3 where the fresh charges were expected to be added to the others already before the court.
The body of 16-year-old Larissa Beilby was found in a barrel in the back of a ute last week.
Mr Sikorsky, 34, has been charged with Ms Beilby's murder amid a string of other charges, including torture and misconduct with a corpse.
