Police have arrested two male teenagers Thursday, March 1 and charged them with murder.

The move was made after two bodies of a Chinese couple were found in a bush allotment in Matafonua, Lakepa, prompting a murder investigation.

The couple in their early 50s were found with obvious injuries on their bodies in February 25, Police said.

Deputy Commissioner Pelenatita Vaisuai said:  “I commend the police investigators for their
commitment and hard work which results in a quick arrest. This arrest provides
reassurance to the family of the deceased and the Community.”

Police investigation continues.
