The man alleged to have murdered a 35-year-old farmer during an argument out at sea between Laucala Island and Taveuni last week has been charged.

The accused is alleged to have hit the man with a stick during an argument and then intentionally drove his boat into the other boat that the victim and two others were travelling in.

The man fell overboard and was found a day later.

The accused has been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder and will be produced in the Labasa Magistrates Court today.
