A former Coles executive has admitted stealing $1.9 million (US$1.29 million) from the national supermarket giant, but a judge said his offending was so inexplicable and stupid he must undergo further psychiatric testing.

County Court Judge Duncan Allen expressed shock that Aaron Baslangic never tried to cover his tracks, had no grand plans about what to do with the funds and most of it was left languishing in a bank account until he was caught.
