During the interview, Lagicere acknowledged his rights and explained why he was arrested.
He openly recounted his involvement in the crime, including choking the victim with a cable and beating the victim with a rod.
However, he did not participate in the disposal of the victim’s body at the Waito Bridge in Korovou.
The arresting officer admitted that he arrested Lagicere, his cousin when he was given the instruction.
On February 20th, a witness from a village near Korovou found soaked trousers and a car mat by the roadside and threw them away.
The trial continues in the Suva High Court.
