A 35-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman each charged with a count of murder have been further remanded in custody by the Suva High Court.

Noa Ravutanasau and Melaci Tikomairarotoga allegedly caused the death of a 30-year-old Rusiate Vakalakovi on the 30th of last month.

The court was told that Ravutanasau and Tikomairarotoga allegedly assaulted Vakalakovi beside the Total Service Station in Suva.

He was seen by medical personnel and left the hospital where he was later found lying motionless outside the hospital premises.
