Police are seeking assistance from the public in locating Joe Setareki Atama, also known as Dice, regarding a stabbing incident in Raiwaqa on the 4th of November, 2024.

Police say Atama is wanted by the Police for questioning.

Police say a 31-year-old student was found lying on the ground with injuries on the right side of his neck, right arm and lips.

He was taken to CWM Hospital and admitted at ICU Ward on life support but passed away later that day after an operation.

If you have any information on his whereabouts, please call Crime Stoppers on 919 or the Southern Division Command Centre at 9905295/9905529.
