The State has sought further time to serve submissions in its appeal’s case against the acquittal of John Nikolic’s wife, Yvette Nikolic.
Both matters were called today at the Fiji Court of Appeal involving Australian national, Nikolic, who was sentenced to 23 years imprisonment and Ms Nikolic who had been acquitted by the High Court in Suva in the same case.
State lawyer Rajneel Kumar told court that they filed their submissions in November and were yet to serve it to Yvette in Australia.
Mr Kumar also said they had received a letter from Nikolic in the matter, however, the State would not respond to this since Nikolic had no say in the matter.
