DPP Reviews Charges Against Baledrokadroka
In his ruling, Judge Bruce stated that according to evidence put before the court, it seems to be at least a suggestion that Baledrokadroka was a potential victim of the conspiracy rather than a party to the alleged murder plot.
He said that evidence implicating Baledrokadroka at a meeting of the alleged conspirators appears to be pretty vague to what, if any, part he played in this meeting.
DPP lawyer Nancy Tikoisuva confirmws the DPP is expected to inform the court on the atate's stance in regards to Baledrokadroka when the case will be called again on November 27th.
Meanwhile, the DPP is also exploring the avenues available in regards to the permanent stay order imposed on proceedings against Ballu Khan yesterday before deciding on his next course of action.
After issuing the stay in proceedings against Ballu Khan, Judge Bruce also stated that the rest of the nine accused, Ratu Inoke Takiveikata, Jone Baledrokadroka, Feoko Gadekibau, Barbados Mills, Sivaniolo Naulago, Metuisela Mua, Eperama Waqatairewa, Kamanieli Vosavere and Pauliasi Namulo are to stand trial on the charges as their grounds for application for a stay on their case was dismissed.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that businessman Ballu Khan left the country for Australia at 8.30 this morning.
