Police investigators are now gathering statements from some people to establish how the family car of the five people found dead in the Nausori Highlands in Nadi yesterday was found abandoned in Votualevu.

Spokesperson, Ana Naisoro says they are following some possible leads and investigators are also in the highlands searching for more information and evidence.

The family car was found at the New World Supermarket carpark in Votualevu.

The neighbours in Legalega, Nadi are saying that the family had gone out on Saturday afternoon and did not return home.

The post mortem examination of the five bodies will be conducted tomorrow.

Police have confirmed that the bodies are of a 63 year old carpenter, Nirmal Kumar, his 54 year old wife, Usha Devi, their 34 year old daughter, Nileshni Kajal and Kajal's two daughters aged 11 and 8 years.

They were found in the sightseeing area in the Nausori Highlands.

It is a case of interest for now until a determination is made on the cause of the deaths.

No visible injuries were found on the five people.

The one-year-old child who was found crawling nearby, remains admitted at the Lautoka Hospital.

She is the late Nileshni’s niece.

Her mother lives in Australia.
