Police investigations regarding claims by a man that he was beaten up in police custody have been put on hold.
Ricardo Fisher claims that he was picked up by the police in Suva in November last year and was allegedly beaten unconscious during his night in custody.
He alleged that he was punched and kicked by up to five policemen at the Totogo Police Station.
The 36-year-old claimed that he spent two days in hospital with bruises, swelling and two broken ribs.
Spokesperson, Ana Naisoro says Ricardo Fisher has not cooperated with police and attempts to contact him have been futile.
She says they sent officers to the Western Division searching for him but there has been no luck.
Naisoro says if he does not cooperate they cannot proceed with the investigations.
