Commissioner of Police Geoffrey Vaki wants an immediate investigation into a hit-and-run incident at Hohola in the National Capital District which claimed the life of an elderly women.
"This is a unfortunate and sad incident. It is totally uncalled for and must be immediately investigated with a view to holding those involved accountable, whether directly or indirectly in the death of the elderly women," Commissioner Vaki said from Auckland, New Zealand, where he is attending the 43rd Pacific Islands Chiefs of Police Conference. Commissioner Vaki was alerted to a photograph of a child weeping over the mangled lifeless body of the old women. Earlier reports said that the old women, a street vendor, was fleeing from policemen when she ran onto the main road and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. However, an eye-witness, veteran journalist from The National, Malum Nalu, said the old women was fleeing from the "buai rangers" when she was struck down by and on-coming vehicle. Commissioner Vaki said regardless of who was involved he will be informing Acting Police Commissioner Awan Sete to immediately and thoroughly investigate the incident and take appropriate action where necessary. Eye-witnesses are encouraged to email their statements, together with their full name and contact details (telephone, email as well as postal addresses) to the following email address: ddkakas@gmail.com.
