Police investigate occupants of Flagstaff home who are alleged instigators of violent attacks against youths from Raiwai

We will look into unexplained wealth of those residing at the property - Qiliho

Commissioner of Police, Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho

An Incident Management Task Force team has now been set up to investigate the occupants of a home located in Flagstaff who are alleged to have been instigators of violent attacks against youths from Raiwai.

Commissioner of Police, Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho has directed the taskforce to investigate in particular those who continue to instigate the attacks and round up investigations into past and recent attacks, investigate the ownership of the property of interest and look into unexplained wealth of those residing at the property.

Four men remain in custody in relation to the alleged abduction and attacks on two youths on Sunday morning.

Qiliho also says the taskforce is working on ensuring there is no further escalation of violence among the two groups.

Meanwhile the family of Raiwai resident, Amena Yanuyanutawa are still in shock, and they are concerned that one day the same group can kill someone.

Losalini Waqaduadua, mother of the 20 year old says seeing her son after escaping from being killed by five men, was terrifying.

Waqaduadua says her son recalled that they were punched and dragged into a vehicle from outside a shop at Milverton Road.

They were having a few bottles of beer outside the shop.

He told his mum that they were kicked and punched in that vehicle until they reached a house in Flagstaff where they were told that it will be the last day of their lives.

Legend FM News has received confirmation that this house was under heavy surveillance earlier as it is understood that drug peddling takes place from the location.

She adds her son and his friend were beaten inside that house until his friend found a way out and ran for his life.

Waqaduadua says after the man stabbed her son, he managed to fight his way out after hearing their plans that it will be his last day.

Her son is still recovering in hospital.
