The trial of the man who allegedly killed his 4 months old baby will begin on the 3rd of November and will continue for 2 weeks.

It is alleged that 26-year-old Tevita Kunawave committed the offence in October last year.

He had earlier pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder.

Kunawave allegedly returned home heavily intoxicated and was refused entry into their home by his wife.

The child was rushed to the CWM Hospital but was pronounced dead. Kunawave's bail has been extended.
