Meli Bainimarama has been jailed for 7 months in Australia.
Nine News reported that the court was told that Bainimarama had assaulted his estranged wife in their bedroom causing her substantial bruising in December 2023.
“A message must be sent to the offender and the wider community that domestic violence offences such as these are abhorrent,” said Magistrate Timothy Khoo.
Bainimarama faces several other charges of the same nature in the Australian court.
