Bail application denied for Samoa murder accused

Chief Justice Patu Falefatu Sapolu said he was satisfied that there was a real and significant risk that Kolani Lam may interfere with police witnesses if he was granted bail.

Lam pleaded not guilty to three charges including the assault of his step daughter and possession of narcotics.

He is now in custody and will appear in court on 10 December.
