The case of the two men accused of murdering a 29-year-old Caubati man early this month has been transferred to the Suva High Court

42-year-old Semi Tamanivalu and 25-year-old Leone Matai have been charged with one count of murder.

Magistrate Lisiate Fotofili says it is now up to the Suva High Court on whether to grant them bail.

Their case will be called on 24th May.

The victim died in his Caubati home from injuries sustained during an assault in Suva on the 4th of May.

The victim sustained serious injuries, which was confirmed in the post-mortem as the cause of the man' death.
