AI summary · 2 outletsAttempted murder accused Saimoni Rokotunidau remains on the run despite a bench warrant, with police unable to locate him after he allegedly drove a vehicle through a Laqere roadblock in May, injuring police officers. State prosecutor Hezekiah Nofaga informed the Suva High Court that Rokotunidau has sold his properties. The State has applied for his two sureties to be summoned to court to explain his failure to attend, and Justice Dane Tuiqereqere ordered the sureties to appear in court on August 24th. Rokotunidau faces five charges, including attempted murder, unlawful possession of illicit drugs, going equipped, serious assault, and refusing to have his fingerprints and photographs taken.
