Sahundi Sanato

Asian committed to stand trial over conspiracy allegations

Magistrate Mekeo Gauli yesterday ordered the committal of Sahundi Sanato to the National Court for trial after he found there was sufficient evidence against him.

Sanato, of Asian origin, was arrested and charged with stealing and conspiring with two others to defraud a man, known as Paiye Bale.

It is alleged that Sanato, between Feb and March 2014 at Waigani, conspired with Jason Koama and Beven Abi to withdraw K65,500 from a Westpac Bank account using a cheque. The account belonged to Paiye Bale.
