Family and friends have identified the man who is alleged to have died in police custody as Richard Mock.
A group of officers at Namaka Police station are also alleged to have dumped his body in Nasau, Nadi after realising he was dead.
Yesterday, newly appointed Police Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu said the case is being investigated.
In the weekend, Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime, Mesake Waqa had stated investigations were at a critical stage.
On social media, a family member of Mr Mock has asked for justice for the deceased.
“1st they claimed you were found, then they said you were Indo Fijian, they described your wheel tattoo as an anchor, then they claimed they couldn’t ID you, all the while… it was them all along, another senseless death,” stated the social media post with a picture of Mr Mock.
His funeral will be held in Suva and those attending the funeral have been asked to wear something blue due to Mr Mock’s “love of the sea.”
