The preliminary inquiry of a 59-year-old naturalised Tongan-Chinese woman charged with attempted murder has been postponed to Thursday, February 19.

Yang Yu Zheng of Havelu appeared before Police Magistrate Samiu Palu on February 17 and was told the preliminary inquiry was postponed because the translator was busy at the Lopaukamea Magistrate's Court.

Police Prosecutor Mema Latu confirmed the accused was appearing for four charges including attempted murder, possession of an illegal firearm and two charges of possessing illegal ammunitions relating to a pistol and a .22 rifle.

This relates to an incident that took place on January 29 at Tokomololo where a pistol was fired.

The Police Magistrate ordered that the Preliminary Inquiry start at 9:30am on Thursday, February 19.
