37-year-old Eroni Bati
The third accused in a case involving the unlawful importation of 4.7 kilograms of methamphetamine, has been denied bail.
37-year-old Eroni Bati was produced in the Suva Magistrates Court this afternoon.
The case is linked to that of two police officers, 43-year-old Sevuloni Lubi and 31-year-old Lote Lewaivanua, who were produced in court earlier this week.
Magistrate Charles Ratakele, who presided over Bati’s appearance, has withdrawn himself from the case due to a personal connection with the accused.
