A 32-YEAR-old man charged with one count of murder was remanded in custody by the High Court in Suva today.

Jekope Rokovuki Naimawi is alleged to have murdered his 35-year-old wife in Kalabu, Nasinu, on January 10, this year.

State lawyer Kimberly Semisi informed the court that the State was awaiting the post-mortem examination report of the deceased and that was the reason why charges were not finalised yet.

Defence lawyer Lavenia David said they were still liaising with the State for information and disclosures on the case.

The man will take his plea on April 10.
