NCD Suburban Rugby League chairman Billy Aki

Aki’s lawyer told to serve submissions

Aki briefly appeared at a District Court sitting at Bomana this morning; seven months on after his case first came for mention. His lawyer was not in court today.

Magistrate John Kaumi ordered him to get his lawyer to serve his submissions on the completed police investigation files to the police prosecution team before the matter returns on Aug 22. 

From Tambul in the Western Highlands Province, 38-year-old Aki was arrested on January 5 this year and charged for the wilful murder of his wife.
