Billy Sapsi Pokea of Suma village, Mendi, Southern Highlands Province, was committed by the District Court on May 19, 2015. He will stand trial next Tuesday at the National Court.
Pokea, who seemed to have aged quite quickly due to his incarceration at Bomana, today appeared in court in crutches before Justice George Manuhu for mention.
He told the court he was still sorting out his legal representation because he intends to engage a private law firm to represent him and not the Public Solicitors office.
