The second prosecution witness in the murder trial of Selema Tikoenaburevere and Kelepi Kolinisau has revealed in the Suva High Court that Josua Lalauvaki had tried to attack him.
It is alleged 26-year-old Lalauvaki was murdered by former police officers, Kelepi Kolinisau and Selema Tikoenaburevere while they were on duty on 2nd September last year.
The second prosecution witness is Alivereti Gade who was part of a Police Team called Polfriend, on the night Josua Lalauvaki was allegedly assaulted last year.
During cross-examination by defence lawyer, Barbara Malimali, Gade denied there may be a possibility that there can be some mistakes in his recollection of events on the 1st and 2nd of September last year.
The prosecution is expected to call five more witnesses.
Lalauvaki died at the CWM Hospital on 11th October last year as a result of injuries sustained after the alleged assault.
The trial will resume this morning before High Court Judge, Justice Vinsent Perera.
