Tudravu directs internal affairs investigation into death of robbery suspect

Fiji’s Acting Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu has directed an internal affairs investigation to be carried out with regards to the death of an aggravated robbery suspect in Nadi on Monday this week.

This was confirmed in a statement issued a short while ago to the media.

The Fiji Times had sent questions to Fiji Police this morning regarding this case.

A/CP Tudravu said the directive for an internal investigation followed the finding of the post mortem examination that was conducted today.

He said the findings ruled out initial claims and reports that his death was allegedly linked to the victim jumping from a double storey building.

A/CP Tudravu has assured that a thorough investigation would be conducted to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the victims’ death and those found responsible would be charged and produced before a court of law.
