She also made direction that the other case against the defendant is also adjourned to Friday.
The other case she also alleged to have involved in was the matter occurred in May 2015.
On the previous occasion the prosecution has told the court, that the matter was a part-heard case and yet to be completed.
This is in relation to the case of Lionel Aenasi, Rachel Roko and other accused that was under warrant of arrest since he was released on bail.
The three accused were charged in relation to an incident occurred on May 26 of last year where the woman wife of the victim was angry because of her husband did not return home after work.
The two pleaded not guilty to the charge against them and a trial date was set.
The victim is a bus driver; on May 25 he did not return home but went out drinking with his friends, and it was when the husband came the next day that the wife was angry and both argued over the issue.
Police said that from that argument the wife Rachael left their house and returned with five of her relatives in a car.
