Two men to face murder charge

Police in Samoa investigating the death of a 34 year old man last weekend, have apprehended two suspects.

The suspects, aged 23 and 24 years respectively and the victim are understood to be from the Vaimea area.

 “The victim is believed to have been on his way home from a night out at a nearby pub. He noticed the two men talking at the side of the road and police believe he decided to stop by them,” said Police spokesperson, Inspector Maotaoalii Kaioneta Aliisolia.

“However, the conversation led to a brawl and resulted in the death of the victim. The suspects will stand in court on the 15th of August for charges of murder,” he added.

The incident occurred early Saturday morning.
