Investigations into three separate incidents of alleged domestic violence are underway.
In the first case reported at the Raiwaqa Police Station, a couple have lost their lives in an alleged murder suicide case this morning.
Police officers had responded to a case of domestic disturbance as the couple were heard arguing, and upon arrival at the couple’s flat at the Lagilagi Housing complex, officers found the two victims with visible wounds, motionless in what is believed to be a case of alleged murder suicide.
The area has been cordoned off as investigations continue.
In the second case of alleged domestic violence, a woman in her 20s was found with visible injuries inside her home on Kerebula Road in Nadi.
The victim’s partner, a man in his 40s, is alleged to have stabbed the victim, causing her serious injuries, resulting in her death.
The suspect was arrested and is currently in police custody.
In the third report, a woman was found by police officers outside an apartment complex in Suva with visible injuries, allegedly inflicted by her partner.
She was rushed to the Colonial War Memorial Hospital, where she is receiving medical treatment as the search continues for her partner.
As investigations continue into all three cases, the Fiji Police Force is again urging members of the public not to resort to violence as a means of resolving disputes.
