The man alleged to have murdered a 35-year-old farmer during an argument out at sea between Laucala Island and Taveuni last week has been charged.
In a statement, police said the accused is alleged to have hit the victim with a stick during an argument and then intentionally drove his boat into the other boat where the victim and two others were traveling in.
The victim fell overboard and was found a day later.
The accused has been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder and will be produced at the Labasa Magistrates Court today.
