A 40-year-old man of Suva facing an assault charge has been remanded in custody by the Magistrates Court in Suva

Esala Delana Kama is charged with one count of assault causing actual bodily harm. He appeared before Magistrate Jioji Boseiwaqa during the special court sitting yesterday.

It is alleged that Kama on April 20 at Suva, assaulted a man causing actual bodily harm.

Police prosecutor Corporal Sanil Kumar served the accused with full phase disclosures. He objected to bail being granted on the grounds that the accused and the complainant lived on the same property.

He told the court that there was a high chance of interference with the prosecution witness by the accused if he was released on bail. The matter was adjourned to May 6 for mention.
