PRINCIPAL Magistrate Jim Seuika has committed the case against the accused, Leonard Mokuniahaka, to the High Court to stand trial.
This is after prosecution submitted preliminary inquiry papers to court by way of short form preliminary inquiry.
The accused pleaded not guilty to one count of murder.
This is in relation to the murder incident which occurred in Makira Ulawa province on October 24, 2017.

Seuika also made directions that the accused will be called in the High Court on his next appearance.
