Fijian Murder.
p. 37 · Read in the full issue
TWO Fijian women, mother and daughter, were murdered at Vuni deuba village on March 9, when a young Fijian named Emosi ran amok and attacked them with a cane knife.
The tragedy was the result of a trivial argument about a cow between Emosi and his mother. When she remonstrated with him he seized the knife and almost beheaded her.
His sister then intervened and Emosi turned and attacked her in the same way.
Emosi, who is 24 years of age, was arrested quietly and charged with the double murder.
