Nadroga Navosa Chamber calls for justice after death of 38-year-old man

The Nadroga Navosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry is calling for the full force of the law to be applied against those responsible for the attack that claimed the life of 38-year-old Vimal Nand and seriously injured his son.



The Chamber says Nand was a hardworking member of the community, a devoted father and a successful worker whose death has deeply affected the Nadroga Navosa community.



Chamber President Suresh Naidu says the Chamber strongly condemns the violence and is calling on Police and the prosecution to ensure that all individuals involved are dealt with according to the law.

The Chamber says there should be no partiality, bias or unfair leniency in the handling of the case.

They say violence of this nature affects not only families but also the safety and economic wellbeing of the wider community.

The Chamber says it expects swift, stern and impartial justice through the legal process.

It says it will closely monitor the ongoing legal proceedings and is calling for anyone convicted over Nand’s death and the injuries suffered by his son to receive the maximum sentence provided under the law.

The Chamber says Nand’s death is a tragic loss for his family and the wider community and is urging the relevant authorities to ensure that justice is served.

Meanwhile,38-year-old Nand has died after he was allegedly assaulted by two men in Sigatoka yesterday.

Police say a father and son are in custody at the Sigatoka Police Station.

They say the victim and two 16-year-old students were allegedly assaulted by the two suspects after they were confronted over an incident involving one of the victim’s farm animals.

The victim was later found unconscious by his brother with injuries.

Police say the three victims were taken to Sigatoka Hospital, where the 38-year-old man was transferred to Nadi Hospital and later to Lautoka Hospital.

Attempts to revive him proved futile, and he was pronounced dead.

The two suspects remain in custody as investigations continue.

A Sigatoka resident told fijivillage News that the 38-year-old man had been horse riding with his sons in Mateqe, Sigatoka, when the alleged incident occurred.

The resident alleged that the suspects were drunk and had brutally assaulted the father and his two sons.

The resident says the two sons remain admitted at Lautoka Hospital.
