According to The Sydney Morning Herald, former Wests Tigers reserve grader Iverson Fuatimau has pleaded guilty to aggravated break and enter and robbery in company.
Fuatimau, who will be sentenced in Campbelltown District Court next week, played in the NSW Cup for the Tigers’ feeder club Western Sydney Magpies in 2022. That same year, he also trained with the NRL squad.The 23-year-old allegedly drove two other males to a home in St Helens Park, where they allegedly hopped a fence and broke into the property.
When the tenant noticed the men outside, he summoned two buddies before escaping and leaving them in the house.
The two alleged intruders then committed armed robbery and threatened the two victims with a gun. Fuatimau was not present at the time of the heist and instead remained inside the vehicle.
Both victims are said to have been tied up individually, with one being told that his companion in another room had been slain and that he was next.
“I just put a bullet through the head of [your friend].” “You’re next,” one of the men allegedly said.According to police, during the heist, the men allegedly held pistols to the victims’ heads and demanded to know where particular items were. Even a shot was fired into a wall, almost missing one of the victims.
The men allegedly grabbed jewellery, an iPad, mobile phones, and a car from one of the victims held at gunpoint before fleeing with the driver, Fuatimau.
Fuatimau’s court case was announced only a week ago.
Tavui, a 19-year-old Tigers SG Ball player, has been accused with the murder of Dejan “Danny the Serb” Radulovic.
Radulovic was slain on July 29 in Balmain after allegedly being shot and stabbed following a confrontation with two men.
