You are a coward and a heartless person who has no value for human life.

This was what High Court judge Justice Sunil Sharma told Sigatoka man Muni Nadan while sentencing him to life in prison on a murder charge.

Nadan, 29, who appeared at the High Court in Lautoka, fatally stabbed his neighbour, Asbin Nair, with a cane knife in June 2018 and dumped his body in a nearby field.

Justice Sharma also called Nadan a disgrace to the society.

“The manner in which you had carried out the offending is dreadful. You showed no sympathy for the victim. There can be no lawful justification for the taking away of another human life in such circumstances this was a selfish, cold-hearted and an unprovoked attack on a defenceless victim.”

Justice Sharma issued a mandatory life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years nine months served before he could be considered for a pardon.
