THE matter of the man charged in connection to the petrol bomb incident at Kukum Honiara last month has been brought before the Honiara Magistrate Court again today.
Mostyn Maenu’u Jnr is facing the charges of Possession of Firearms, Intimidation, and Malicious Damage.
His matter has been mentioned before Magistrate Emily Zazariko Vagibule Pakoa at 9am.
Police charged Maenu’u Jnr in relation to an allegation between 4am and 5am on 2 July this year at the east Kolaridge, Kukum Market and Florence Young School cross junctions.
The prosecution alleged the defendant and others had attacked a couple with petrol bombs.
It was alleged that the couple were on their way to tow a car which had a mechanical problem when they encountered five masked men armed with knives.
The masked men allegedly threw petrol bombs at the two vehicles and started cutting the vehicles with bush knives. They also threatened to kill the couple.
An earlier police report stated that the victim of the incident had some burns from the petrol bombs but was in a stable condition.
