Tongan Police are treating the death of a German national, Wolfgang Borner, 59, as suspicious after his remains had been found at sea by local divers on Wednesday.
When contacting Police the divers said “they had found human remains, tied with a rope on the ankles to a rock on the seabed” Matangi Tonga report said.
The finding came after Borner was reported missing to Police on December 28, 2015.
Following an autopsy by ‘Eua health authority Borner’s remains were taken and buried in his resting place in the island.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
