Suva, Oct. 20.
A CASE of alleged murder, interesting because the parties concerned are Fijians, has occurred at Naidrodro, a native settlement controlled by the C.S.R.
Co. near Rarawai. Two Fijians, a man named Antonio Leka, and a woman, Ula mila, have been charged with the murder of Enosi Radio, the husband of Ulamila.
It is stated that Ulamila and Radio were married only a few days when, with the connivance of Leka, she lured her husband into the bush where Leka killed him with a cane knife. Enosi’s body bore wounds indicative of an extra ordinarily savage attack.
Such crimes are rare among Fijians.
Mr. H. R. Craigie, who has been acting as Government Printer in Fiji since the retirement of Mr. J. J. McHugh some time ago, has been appointed permanent
ly to the position.
