Defence Lawyer, Iqbal Khan has today told the Lautoka High Court that he needs to view the original CCTV footage in relation to the case of Mohammed Raheesh Isoof who allegedly murdered five people in the Nausori Highlands in August last year.

The court has now allowed Khan to visit the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions in Lautoka to view the original footage.

Khan informed the court that once he views the CCTV footage, he will be able to finalise the pre-trial conference documents that were served on him by the State.

62-year-old Mohammed Raheesh Isoof is facing five counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

He holds permanent residency in New Zealand.

The bodies were of a 63-year-old carpenter, Nirmal Kumar, his 54-year-old wife, Usha Devi, their 34-year-old daughter, Nileshni Kajal and Kajal's two daughters aged 11 and 8 years.

A 1-year-old child was also found crawling nearby.

The case has been adjourned to the 25th of this month and Isoof has been remanded in custody.
