A 21 year old farmer is expected to appear at the Savusavu Magistrates Court today charged with the alleged assault of a 24 year old student of Navonu Settlement, Tukavesi on Saturday.
The accused has been charged with two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
