The Suva Magistrates Court has granted bail to three individuals facing serious charges related to illicit drug possession and assault. The accused, Lemeki Baleiwai, 29, Maciua Jiuta, 27, and Asaeli Sususewa, 23, appeared before Resident Magistrate Krishnan Prasad.
The hearing was briefly paused to allow the court to record the sureties’ details, as the magistrate had to attend to other business. Baleiwai faces charges for possessing illicit drugs, while Jiuta and Sususewa are charged with serious assault.
As part of the bail conditions, all three men are required to report to the Lami Police Station on the last Friday of each month and are prohibited from contacting any prosecution witnesses. Each of the accused has been granted a non-cash bail set at $300 and must remain at a designated address specified to the court. Furthermore, they are ordered not to commit any further offenses.
The case is set to be mentioned again on December 2 at 9:30 am.
This situation highlights the legal process at work as the court handles serious allegations, ensuring the rights of the accused while also maintaining community safety. Such legal proceedings underscore the importance of accountability among individuals charged with serious offenses. The upcoming court date provides a chance for the justice system to further address these matters and reinforce societal standards against illicit activities.
