Three men have been remanded by Suva’s Magistrates Court on serious charges involving illicit drug possession and assault. Lemeki Baleiwai, aged 29, Maciu Jiuta, 27, and Asaeli Susewa, 23, appeared before Resident Magistrate Sufia Hamza earlier today.
Baleiwai faces a charge for possessing illicit drugs, specifically marijuana, while Jiuta and Susewa are charged with seriously assaulting two police officers during a raid on November 18, 2024. The Police Prosecutor informed the court that all necessary disclosures have been provided to the defendants, who have acknowledged receiving them.
The case has been adjourned to Court Four for a bail hearing and further mention scheduled for November 29.
