The girlfriend of Josua Lalauvaki, who was allegedly murdered by two former police officers, has admitted in court that Lalauvaki had hit someone inside the nightclub as that person was hassling her.
It is alleged 26-year-old Lalauvaki was murdered by Kelepi Kolinisau and Selema Tikoenaburevere while they were on duty on 2nd September last year.
Tikoenaburevere's lawyer, Akuila Naco asked Melania Davetawalu whether Lalauvaki was involved in a fight inside the club before he was taken out to which Davetawalu said that it was not a fight as the person Lalauvaki had hit did not have a chance to hit him back.
She also denied that Lalauvaki had a scuffle with the bouncers as they took him out.
Naco then put to her that the person that Lalauvaki had punched followed him outside to which Davetawalu said that she was the only one to follow him outside.
She also denied that a group of boys followed Lalauvaki outside that club and assaulted him.
Naco also put to her that after Lalauvaki was assaulted, he was kneeling by the fence of the TLTB Carpark and holding his stomach which she denied.
The trial continues.
