Investigation into a murder case involving a 27-year-old man accused of killing a victim at Green Valley is still ongoing, as police are yet to obtain the outstanding key evidence.

Dyson Rausi is charged with one count of murder, which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

The case was first mentioned in the Magistrate Court on Friday, July 18, 2025 following the defendant’s remand.

The prosecution updated the court that the two outstanding documents yet to be obtained are the forensic photographs and the autopsy report.  

The duty defence counsel told the court that the Public Solicitor’s Office will be taking over the case and requested a fourteen-day adjournment to allow time for a lawyer to be assigned to the defendant.

The matter is adjourned to August 1, 2025, for further mention.

Court made directions for the prosecution to liaison with the police investigator to collect the outstanding Autopsy report and Forensic photographs and served disclosures to the defence.

According to the police, the incident occurred around 5am on June 30, 2025.

The defendant allegedly attacked the deceased after accusing him of practicing sorcery.

The deceased was using the restroom located in a separate building from the house, when his daughter and landlord heard him shouting.

The landlord and daughter of the deceased went to see what happened, they reportedly saw the defendant kicking the deceased abdomen and head.

Despite their attempt to intervene, they were unable to stop the attack.

The defendant was alleged to wearing a pair of safety boots at the time.

The deceased was rushed to the National Referral Hospital (NRH), where he was later pronounced dead.

Rausi fled the scene but was arrested on July 2, and formally charged the next day.

Georgina Oroi appeared for the Crown and Alice Silas for the defence.
