The case of the 43 year old Chinese national who is charged with the murder of another Chinese national at Salato Road in Namadi Heights on the 13th of this month, has been transferred to the Suva High Court.
Wang Qi Yong has been told by Suva Magistrate Liyange Wickrama-sekara through his interpreter, that he has to file a notice of where he was if he is using the defence of an alibi.
He told Yong that he has to give his whereabouts on the day of the incident and has to give names and addresses of people who can confirm his location on the said date.
Magistrate Wickramasekara also told the accused through his interpreter that he cannot grant him bail because of the seriousness of the offence.
The Magistrate also said that because he is a Chinese National, there is a likelihood that he may abscond bail.
Yong is charged with a count of murder.
The case has been adjourned to the 4th of next month.
He is alleged to have caused the death of a 33‑year‑old Chinese woman on the 13th of this month at the victim's home in Salato Road in Namadi Heights.
Police say the woman was found dead in her room by her flatmate.
