A 16-year-old Tongan girl who was reported missing from Sunshine West in Victoria, Australia more than a week ago has returned home.

16-year-old Meleane and her sister 14-year-old Rachel Fangaake were last seen on Lachlan Road, Sunshine West on Thursday October 27,  according to a missing person alert from Victoria Police.

But yesterday November 5 Meleane returned home.

Their aunty Lose Fangaake said she received contact from a Tongan person reporting that Meleane was at his house.

Lose said she immediately called Police but when they arrived to pick Meleane up she disappeared.

“I (texted) her to come home wherever she may be and she did…the younger one Hingano Rachael Fangaake is still missing”, Lose told Kaniva News.

“The older one is back and the 14 year old is still missing.

“It is really really sad”, Lose said.

Meanwhile an unconfirmed report said the 20-year-old Vitolio Latu who was reported missing on October 17 had been found.

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.
