The fifth prosecution witness in the murder trial of former police officers Kelepi Kolinisau and Selema Tikoenaburevere says that she saw a short, dark and built man throw three punches at Tikoenaburevere on the night of September 2nd last year.
Kolinisau and Tikoenaburevere are charged with murdering Josua Lalauvaki last year.
Police Constable Fiona Vulaono says she saw Tikoenaburevere look at the man and held his neck and the man fell down.
Vulaono says at the same time the other man was exchanging punches with Kolinisau.
During cross-examination by Kolinisau’s lawyer, Barbara Malimali, PC Vulaono says that she was attracted to a vehicle on that night because of the swearing by a female.
When questioned by Tikoenaburevere’s lawyer, Akuila Naco, PC Vulaono said the incident was not recorded in the station diary.
The trial continues before Judge, Justice Vinsent Perera as the 6th prosecution witness is now giving evidence.
