The bail application for 27-year-old Jone Vakarisi Junior who was allegedly involved in a hit and run incident in Nabua last November has again been denied by the Suva Magistrates Court.
Vakarisi filed for bail again on the 10th of last month in support of his wife stating that he is the sole bread winner of the family and they need him to run the family business.
The prosecution objected to the bail application in their submission and argued that there is a possibility of the accused reoffending if granted bail and also interfering with witnesses.
In his bail ruling, Magistrate Shageeth Somaratne stated that the accused has a history of breaching his bail conditions and that granting him bail would be clearly detrimental to the public interest.
Jone Vakarisi is charged with one count of criminal trespass, one count of damaging property and one count of act with intent to cause grievous harm.
The case will be called for mention on the 17th of this month.
