A 40-year-old man is being questioned at the Lautoka Police Station in relation to the death of a 20-year-old woman in Lovu, Lautoka on the 16th of June, 2024.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime, Mesake Waqa says the investigation is being treated as an alleged hit-and-run case.

ACP Waqa says however, due to the nature of how the woman was found in Vitogo on the morning of the alleged incident, investigators will be liaising with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for independent legal advice, for other possible charges.

Police say the 40-year-old suspect remains in Police custody.
