Two men charged with two counts of criminal intimidation, six counts of robbery with violence and one count of unlawful use of motor vehicle have been remanded in custody by the Magistrates court.
The two, 21 year old Herbert Bosewaqa and 24 year old Josefa Talinisucu were charged with the alleged robbery of Wainadoi businessman and soccer administrator Anil Sharma's home last month.
No plea was taken and the two have been remanded until May 18th.
It is alleged that the family was asleep when five masked men armed with cane knives and pinchbars entered the house through the front door, and stole $7000 cash, jewellery worth $15,000 and other items including phones worth more than $6000.
The robbers then fled in the businessman's car which was found abandoned in Delainavesi, Lami.
