Four men have been charged and will be produced at the Labasa Magistrates Court today for their alleged involvement in an aggravated robbery case in Delailabasa which led to the death of the 60-year old victim last week.

The second accused, a 27-year-old farmer faces six counts which include, murder, aggravated robbery, theft of motor vehicle, two counts of breach of suspended sentencing and escaping from lawful custody.

Police also says the third and fourth accused aged 37 and 23 years have both been charged with one count of murder, one count of aggravated robbery and one count of theft of motor vehicle.

The man who operated a mini mart was allegedly tied up and robbed, and the accused later fled in his vehicle.

His wife alerted police of the incident and found the man motionless.
