Meliame Fisi’ihoi

Falala Iongi, Viliami Mounga He Ofa Iongi, and Manu Hori Iongi are accused of murdering the Auckland grandmother on January 15, 2020.

1 News reports Falala and Viliami also face charges of wounding with intent to injure and reckless discharge of a firearm relating to a prior incident.

That involved the deceased’s son, Stephen Fisi’ihioi, and another man on December 4, 2019.

All accused denied the charges.

On Tuesday morning at the High Court at Auckland, Justice Grant Powell told the jury the trial had been aborted due to a “range of issues”.

A 54-year-old woman was charged with intentional damage related to the tagging.

The latest victim was Meliame Fisi’ihoi, 57, who was killed on Wednesday at Calthorp Close, Favona property, in the early hours of the morning.

Last month, a man was seriously injured on the same property in Favona.

On Sunday, graffiti including the words “Aroha Black Power” was painted white on a black hangar next to the house.
