Mori’s case briefly came for mention before Magistrate Mekeo Gauli, who ordered for the matter to be transferred to Kundiawa because that is where the alleged offense occurred.
The 55-year-old member from Tokoma village, Chuave, Chimbu Province, was arrested on January 31 and later released on K1000 bail.
He was charged with eight different counts; seven under the Criminal Code act and one under the Police Force act.
