Samoa Supreme Court orders Fepulea’i re-trial

Fepulea'i Attila Ropati pleaded guilty to one count of actual bodily harm with intent after he struck the head of a security guard with an empty bottle at a function last December

The victim required hospital treatment for the resulting injury.

The District Court decision was appealed by the prosecution to the Supreme Court which has yet to set a date for the re-trial.
