Nauru national Julien Henrich

Nauru national files appeal in Fiji court

The matter was called before Justice William Calanchini at the Fiji Court of Appeal yesterday.

Fiji Times reports in his grounds of appeal, Julien Henrich was claiming that the learned trial judge erred in fact in holding that the appellant was part of a joint enterprise with others in the assault of Sione Tufui and in Mr Tufui's eventual death.

The appellant also claimed that the learned trial judge wronged in fact in not assessing properly the extent of the injuries on Mr Tufui's body which, in the circumstances of the case, could not have been caused by him.
