Lema'i Faioso Sione and Malele Atofu Paulo, also known as King Faipopo, had applied for a bail variation, allowing them to travel back to the country where they are permanent residents.
Lema'i wanted a medical check and to be there for the birth of his first grandchild, while Malele wanted to visit his wife and children.
However, the Supreme Court denied the application, finding that no medical evidence of the pregnancy was presented nor proof of the defendant's need for Australian health care.
