ADDITIONAL information on police investigations into the mystery death at Irigila Village, North Vella La Vella should be made known today.

This is according to the Gizo Police Station when contacted yesterday.

The male deceased last week is described to be in his late 40’s.

Having bad bruises on his face is why his death has raised queries amongst his community.

According to the Western Province Acting Provincial Police Commander (PPC) Vincent Eria last week, an Operations Team was sent to carry out investigation over the suspicious death in which no further information has yet been made known.

“Currently, the action we are taking there is attending the crime scene, taking statements and speaking to community members within the area to find the cause of death,” said the Acting PPC.

He said they are investigating as well the history of the deceased in terms of sickness and his wellbeing amongst the community.

Acting PPC Vincent Eria said that the investigation carried out is normal police work on suspicious deaths.

“To clarify to the community, this is a normal police investigation if whether there is any offence committed or not,” said the Acting PPC.

“For the community’s understanding, we are not jumping to conclusions currently in pointing fingers to anyone according to the cause of death,” he said.

He added if investigation carried out finds that the situation is just a normal death that has no obstructions from relatives and the community then the process for burial will take place.

But if the cause of death is suspicious and there is pressure from the community to find out the cause then further investigations will be carried out.

Attempts to catch up with the Acting PPC via mobile phone were unsuccessful yesterday.
