Tonga’s Chief Justice rejects bail application by Lavulavu couple

Kaniva News reports in his 18 pages ruling Mr Whitten said he was not satisfied that Lavulavu “are obvious or even reasonable”.

He said the couple failed to fullfil the requirement by the bail law.

This “leads to the conclusion that, at this time, the Court does not consider it fit to admit them to bail pending their appeal”.

“Accordingly, the applications are refused”.
