The prosecution witness in an alleged murder case of a 25-year-old labourer Epineri Waqawai told the Suva High Court that the chances of survival with brain injuries even after proper surgical intervention, is very low.
While giving his evidence, Doctor James Kalounivaki told the court that Waqawai also had a surgical intervention.
He says the purpose for this is to release the pressure and blood from within the skull.
Kalounivaki says there is more than 60 percent chances of fatal outcome for the person who has brain injuries even after surgical intervention.
He told the court that Waqawai sustained inner injuries on his left and right side of the head.
It is alleged that Kelepi Qaqa, Josaia Vusuya and Tevita Dakuituraqa assaulted Epineri Waqawai of Lakena causing his death.
The alleged incident happened outside a Nausori nightclub on the 18th of July, 2015.
They are each charged with one count of murder.
The trial continues.
