A 36-year-old man was stabbed to death in Fu’amotua yesterday Sunday 17 and Police have arrested a 19-year-old teenage boy for the incident.

Police said the victim was Lipine Fakatene and he was attacked and stabbed in Fu’amotu in what was described as a result of “youth fights”.

“Yes that’s true a  36-year-old died last night and his body  is still in hospital,” Tupou ‘Otutaha, Mu’a Police Superindent told Kaniva News this morning when he was asked to confirm the incident.

Otutaha said he could not release any further details of the accused rather than his age as the case was before a judge  and it was expected the accused would appear in court this morning.

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.
