Two men originally charged with aggravated robbery over an incident in Savusavu, where an elderly man was assaulted and robbed, have now been charged with murder after the victim succumbed to his injuries.
According to authorities, the suspects were initially remanded but later brought back into police custody for further questioning following the victim’s death.
The suspects are alleged to have forcibly entered the victim’s home in the village of Nagigi, where they assaulted him and stole various items.
The pair will appear in the Labasa Magistrates Court today.
