Questions raised by concerned Savusavu residents after 86 yr old home invasion victim passes away

2 men now under investigation for alleged murder

The two men earlier charged and produced in court for an alleged aggravated robbery case in Savusavu last month, are now being investigated for alleged murder.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime, Mesake Waqa says the two are alleged to have forcefully entered the home of a 86 year old retired businessman of Nagigi in Savusavu where they assaulted the victim causing injuries, and stole assorted items.

The two accused persons appeared in court and remanded at the Labasa Correction Facility.

The victim unfortunately later passed away on the 27th of April 2025.

As investigators now pursue the element of murder, the Fiji Police Force will ensure the thorough conduct of investigation so that justice prevails.

Meanwhile concerned Savusavu resident, Pettine Simpson has posted asking if it is possible for the police to either confirm or deny the information regarding the Terry Gray robbery and murder case: that one of the two perpetrators had a prior home invasion at the victims' residence, served jail time for it, and was subsequently released, potentially leading to a revenge motive.

Police have just said that the two men will now be investigated for murder.
