A man convicted of stealing $11,000 will serve five out of his six-year sentence before being eligible for parole. Saula Luveitasau, who represented himself in court, faced two counts of aggravated robbery as he appeared before Suva Judge, Justice Pita Bulamainaivalu.

The court records indicate that Luveitasau, along with an accomplice, unlawfully entered the property of Zheng Jinwen on two occasions, December 18 and 26, three years prior. During this time, they forcefully stole cash and various items, with Luveitasau allegedly using intimidation tactics on Mr. Jinwen.

In related news, Luveitasau’s co-accused, Taito Soko Tuilevuka, is scheduled for trial next year. Justice Bulamainaivalu denied Mr. Tuilevuka’s bail application, extending his production order. The case is set to resume on November 27 to assess readiness for trial.

This situation serves as a reminder of the judicial process and the consequences of criminal actions. While the incidents are regrettable, the legal system is working to ensure accountability and justice. With ongoing cases, there is hope for a fair resolution and the possibility of rehabilitation for those involved.

Summary: Saula Luveitasau has been sentenced to six years in prison for aggravated robbery and will serve five years before being eligible for parole. His accomplice’s trial is set for next year. The legal proceedings continue, highlighting the importance of accountability in criminal cases.
