SUSPECT Pita Matairavula, Bainimarama's Personal Security Officer,
ON THE RUN; IS THAT WHY BAINIMARMA HAD "STUCK BY HIS MEN" citing security of the nation and making sure he slept peacefully at night? Worst, like his killer brother-in-law Francis Kean, Matairavula is still working as PSO despite being charged in another case with Manslaughter, Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm and an alternative count of RAPE. And there is Bainimarama, himself on the run from law, preaching against sedition to Ra villagers! Welcome to "FRANK'S FIJI"
“At the end of the day, I will stick by my men, by the police officers or anyone else that might be named in this investigation. We cannot discard them just because they’ve done their duty in looking after the security of this nation and making sure we sleep peacefully at night.” - Frank Bainimarama reacting to the video which captured the sexual assault and brutal beating of Iowane Benedito in 2012
And where is Pita Matairavula, the fifth suspect whose whereabouts, according to DPP, cannot be located. DDP Pryde should go and ask Bainimarama, for Matairavula was Bainimarama's PSO before elections!
DDP Pryde is yet to reply to Fijileaks questions regarding his deputy Mosese Korovou, accused of allegedly borrowing $5000 from Defence lawyer Iqbal Khan and paying in kind by mounting weak prosecution case against businessman Mohammed Shaheed Khan, acquitted by the judge over the heroin case!
THREE police officers and a military personnel charged with sexual assault appeared at the Nasinu Magistrate Court this afternoon. Police officers Sanita Laqenasici, Jona Davonu, Semesi Naduka, and soldier Filimone Catimaibulu charged in relation to an alleged sexual assault on Iowane Benedito which occurred in November 2012.
All four have opted to be tried in the Magistrates' Court.
The State informed the Court that it will object to bail once a formal application for bail is made by the defence and all four have opted to be tried in the Magistrates' Court.
The State sought time from the Court to file full disclosures at the next mention date.
All accused have been further remanded and the matter has been adjourned to October 28. Source: Fiji Times
