Police prepare file for DPP in Vakarisi murder investigation

Police are preparing to seek legal advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) over the death of Jone Vakarisi at Queen Elizabeth Barracks in April.

Vakarisi had been taken into military custody for questioning over an attempted break-in at a military armoury. Police have classified his death as murder.

Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu told a press conference this morning that investigators had interviewed all suspects and received the full post-mortem report.

Police said they would withhold further details of the post-mortem findings while they prepare the file for the ODPP.
