The mother of the 18‑year‑old man who died in custody at the Nakasi Police Station earlier this week says she was notified by Police yesterday that her son died as a result of suicide.
Ashwini Nand says she was told about this after the post-mortem examination.
However, Nand says she is still not satisfied and is awaiting the completion of full investigations.
Nand has told us that Police has assured her that they will complete their investigations in the next seven days and the outcome will be relayed to her.
She had earlier told Fijivillage that she wants answers from the Police on how they established that her son committed suicide as she claims that she has been given different stories by different officers at Nakasi Police Station.
Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho said yesterday that it is wise that they allow the investigation to be conducted before making further comments.
Police are expected to give more details after the completion of investigation.
