Several death investigations had moved forward, with police reporting new developments in cases involving Everi Tuimasi, Sakiasi Radravu, a young boy and a remandee who died in Suva.

The updates came during a Fiji Police Force press conference, where investigators outlined cases that had reached different stages, from forensic examination to files being sent for legal advice.

Iveri Tuimasi’s case had been forwarded to the Resident Magistrate with police findings, while the investigation into Sakiasi Radravu’s death had been completed and the file is with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime Loraini Seru provided the update as questions focused on the progress of the two investigations.

For the Wailoku case, police had received forensic results and forwarded the report to the CID branch at Samabula Police Station. 

An arrest is expected as investigators continued working on the case.

The investigation into the death of a remandee in Suva had also taken a serious turn, with police considering the matter as a murder investigation.

Seru had also been questioned on the other death investigations raised during the briefing, as police continued to assess evidence before deciding on further action.

The updates showed that the cases were at different stages, with some files already before legal authorities while others remained under active investigation.
