30‑year‑old Iliesa Cama who is alleged to have caused the death of a 2‑year‑old child in Tamavua last month has been granted bail by the Suva Magistrates Court.
The accused had earlier appeared in court for a charge of dangerous driving causing harm as he is also alleged to have hit a 23‑year‑old woman.
Following the death of the 2‑year‑old on the 1st of this month, the accused has been charged with dangerous driving occasioning death.
Chief Magistrate Usaia Ratuvili has adjourned the case to next Tuesday to allow the prosecution to consider whether they would want to drop the charge of dangerous driving causing harm.
Police say the 2‑year‑old victim was walking with a 23‑year‑old woman along the footpath near Tamavua Village on the 24th of June when they were both hit by a vehicle driven by the 30‑year‑old man.
The 23‑year‑old had sustained injuries and was discharged on the 29th of June while the 2‑year‑old victim remained admitted in critical condition until she passed away last Saturday.
