The victim died in his Caubati home from injuries sustained during an assault in Suva on the 4th of May.

Police say investigators managed to establish that the two accused persons, employed as security personnel of a supermarket in Suva, had allegedly assaulted him on the afternoon of the 4th of May, as they suspected the victim of stealing.

The victim sustained serious injuries, which was confirmed in the post-mortem as the cause of the man' death.
