Police have arrested two male teenagers Thursday, March 1 and charged them with murder.
The move was made after two bodies of a Chinese couple were found in a bush allotment in Matafonua, Lakepa, prompting a murder investigation.
The couple in their early 50s were found with obvious injuries on their bodies in February 25, Police said.
Deputy Commissioner Pelenatita Vaisuai said: “I commend the police investigators for their
commitment and hard work which results in a quick arrest. This arrest provides
reassurance to the family of the deceased and the Community.”
Police investigation continues.

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.
