Two cow heads and animal intestines found, Tongan Police investigate

Police in Tonga are hunting for the thieves believed to be responsible for the slaughter and stealing of two cows in a tax allotment in Houma, Tongatapu.

Mele Tāvite Fisiliu, the owner of the cows told Kaniva News the discovery was made by a local after he spotted two heads and intestines believed to be of the cows left in their allotment.

After reporting the animal remains to the family a complaint was lodged with Police.

The cows’ slaughtered remains suggested they were butchered and stolen on Friday night.

Fisiliu said if she was to sell her cows they  would be for about more than TP$2000 paʻanga each.

Her sister Kilisitina Fakavā posted the theft on social media and asked the public to contact them if they have information to help find the poachers.

Fisiliu said she received a call from Fuʻamotu from a person who said his cow was also slaughtered and stolen from his tax allotment.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Mele Fisiliu at 7719302 or Kilisitina at 7737408.
