A 39-year-old man charged with the murder of his wife in Veisari last year has entered a not guilty plea.

Taione Kotoyawa Senikaucava appeared before the High Court in Suva earlier this week.

Mr Senikaucava is charged with one count of murder. It is alleged that he murdered his wife following a heated argument before driving her body to the Totogo Police Station in December 2025.

The matter has been adjourned to December 1 for the Court’s ruling on the bail application, as well as to check on the Pre-Trial Conference matters and the filing of the alibi notice.

He has been further remanded in custody.
