A 45-year-old man who is alleged to have seriously assaulted a 38-year-old man in Sakoca resulting in his death has been charged.

The man is formally charged with one count of murder and two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm.

The accused will appear in the Nasinu Magistrates Court today.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations, Livai Driu had earlier stated that the 38-year-old man who tried to intervene in a domestic dispute allegedly lost his life as a result of injuries sustained after being assaulted over the weekend.

ACP Driu says the man had gone to the couple’s home in Sakoca on the back of an invitation to continue drinking following a night out in Suva.

He says the suspect who arrived later to join the group allegedly got into a heated argument with his wife, whereby he assaulted her.

He further says the man allegedly tried to intervene when he was assaulted and struck with an iron rod causing serious injuries, resulting in his death.
