The Suspicious Death At Fiu Bridge Is Now A Murder Investigation!

Suspicious Death At Fiu Bridge: Police from the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) in Auki, Malaita Province, have verified that the young man’s death, which was initially deemed suspicious, has now been classified as a murder.

According to Superintendent Leslie Kili, the Provincial Police Commander (PPC) for Malaita Province,  “This confirmation came after the police have arrested a male suspect from the 11 suspects identified earlier.”

PPC Kili says, “From that 11 suspects identified by the police for questioning, an an-18-year-old male became a prime suspect in the murder incident.”

“The primary suspect has been remanded on December 13, 2022, at the Auki Correctional facility and will appear in court later for his trial,” says Superintendent Kili. The murder incident is still under investigation.

Mr. Kili says, “Parties of the deceased and the suspects have already had a reconciliation ceremony in Auki Police Station on Friday, 9 December 2022. The reconciliation is to calm both parties from further retaliation while the investigation is in progress.”
