A woman who was admitted at the Labasa Hospital earlier this month with injuries has passed away while the police has classified her death as alleged murder.

The 29-year-old woman from Muanidevo, Dreketi was admitted on the 16th of this month and passed away a day later.

He says that they are gathering reports and investigations are ongoing.
