The Magisterial Court in Kakata, Margibi County has denied a motion for a separate trial in the murder case involving Senator Roland Kaine and others.
The defense team of Senator Kaine headed by Cllr. Francis Galawolo filed for the Senator to be tried separately from the rest of the accused.
The court said that was not the place for defense team to ask for separate trial.
According to the court, the appeal for separate trial can only be done at the level of the Circuit Court.
Senator Kaine and thirteen others are being held for murder following the killing of fourteen young men in a land dispute.
The land dispute was between Senator Kaine and Charles Bennie but Mr. Bennie took the young men following the intervention of the National Traditional Council.
The issue was considered resolved when an agreement was signed, giving Mr. Bennie the right to make his rubber farm.
