Three children including 5-year-old twins and a three-year-old girl are still admitted in a critical condition at the Lautoka hospital.

They were hospitalised following the incident which has claimed the lives of a 33-year-old woman and her 7-month-old baby.

Meanwhile, a 22-year-old woman charged with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder has been remanded in custody by the Lautoka Magistrates court. 

Priya Darshani’s plea has been deferred and the case has been adjourned to the 24th of next month. 

The matter has also been transferred to the High court. 

It is alleged that Darshani killed a 33-year-old woman and her seven month old baby.

The incident is alleged to have occurred as a result of a dispute between Darshani and the 33-year-old woman.
