It’s alleged the two accused forced their way into a Public Rental Board flat and attacked six people over the weekend.

Two victims allegedly suffered knife wounds in the incident.

The matter has been transferred to the Suva High court due to the seriousness of the offense.

The Magistrate told the two to apply for bail in the High court on the 20th of this month.

The third suspect was earlier questioned by police and released without charge.
