Aru Maralau

Conspiracy case against Natuman, Maralau set for 31 Oct

The new date was set during a pre-trial hearing this morning.

Prosecution says over 20 witnesses will testify against the duo while the defense counsel saw it unnecessary to have too many witnesses. They affirm their confidence by saying they needed only three days for the trial. 

In this case, the burden of the prosecution is to attempt to provide all necessary evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Natuman did conspire to defeat the course of justice when he instructed Mr Maralau through a letter to suspend investigations into the police munity case.

Prosecution may have laid wrong charges on Natuman and Maralau’s case on conspiracy to defeat the course of justice

Mr Natuman and Mr Maralau are facing charges of conspiracy to defeat the course of justice,
