An 18-year-old student has been charged with the alleged murder of a 60-year taxi driver last month.

The victim who resided in Korociriciri, Nausori had been reported missing late last month after he failed to return home after work.

Police say a day later the victim's vehicle was found abandoned along Qiolevu Road and his body was discovered a few metres away.

Investigators have also recovered items allegedly stolen from the victim.

The student has also been charged with one count of robbery and three counts of theft.

He will appear in a special court sitting in the Nausori Magistrates Court today.
