A father is expected to appear in court tomorrow Monday 25 after his 7-year-old twin son who fell from a moving vehicle died, local news media reported.

Va’ati Vailea, 36, who had been driving the vehicle, was charged with criminal negligence causing death. However, police reportedly said they were considering dropping the case due to the nature of the incident.

It has been reported the deceased and his younger twin were sitting at the back of the vehicle before he fell and died on October 2.

The family have lamented their loss on Facebook.

“My heartbeat,” a post which appeared to have been posted by one of the parents says.

“I will never ever forget you.”
