WHY, MY HUSBAND? Wife of Dead Inmate Asks
Siteri Verevakalau watches helplessly as her two young children hold a portrait of their late father, Mosese Talemainaivalu.
Mr Talemainaivalu who was an inmate at Korovou Corrections Centre died on March 25.
Cause of death? Alleged assault as issued in a statement by Chief of Intelligence, Investigations and Prosecutions Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Sakeo Raikaci yesterday.
To this, Ms Verevakalau wants answers.
She wants Police to find those involved in the alleged assault and bring them to justice.
She only heard of her husband’s demise when Fiji Corrections Service personnel visited her at their home in Nakasi to tell the news on the day he died.
“We were never told that he was sick and the only time the corrections officers visited us was to inform us that he had died,” Ms Verevakalau said.
“Why him? What happened?
“The inmates are the only ones telling us what really happened inside. It is so unfair that my children have lost their father at a very young age.
“My husband was a good man. He was hardworking and always prioritized his children.
“My husband ended up with the wrong crowd and that was why he was incarcerated but that did not give anyone any right to take his life.”
Ms Verevakalau said it was hard to explain to her children that their father would not be seeing them anymore.
“My eldest daughter, who is eight years old, is affected the most. She would wake up and ask her grandmother if her dad was coming back.
“It is sad that my husband was taken away from them at an early age,” she said.
“My children need answers and right now we need as much information as we can get.
Mr Talemainaivalu was 29 years old.
Police And Corrections Comment:
ACP Raikaci said the Criminal Investigations Department said the victim was admitted at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital on March 23 after he was allegedly assaulted by Corrections personnel.
ACP Raikaci said the victim passed away a few days later, and the matter was reported earlier this week.
Fiji Corrections Service spokesperson, Jone Kalouniviti, said there was an internal investigation in regards to the allegations.
“We would like to assure tht zero-tolerance for assault on prisoners stand,” he said.
“Their welfare is our main priority.” Mr Talemainaivalu will be laid to rest today at the Nasinu Cemetery.
Two students and a 25-year-old woman are in police custody after they were found with dried leaves believed to be ma*****na.
Police say Police Constable Maciu Temo and K9 Spike were deployed to assist with a report of a break-in at Yaladro in Ba.
They say when the K9 team arrived at the scene, K9 Spike trekked for more than a kilometre, leading the officers to the 25-year-old woman’s home, where she was with her 16-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old friend.
Police officers also searched the 16-year-old daughter's school bag and found dried leaves wrapped in a cloth and small plastics containing dried leaves believed to be ma*****na.
The three were taken in for questioning as investigations continue.

Shreedhi Riya Singh, 12, eagerly waited for her father in Nausori on Saturday, but instead received news of his involvement in a devastating accident.
Her father, Ravendra Singh, was a bus driver from Barotu, Ra.
Police Spokesperson Ana Naisoro said Mr Singh was alleged to be the country’s latest road fatality victim following a motor vehicle accident near Teidamu Hill in Lautoka on Saturday afternoon.

“I used to visit my father every school break, but from now it will be different because my dad is no more. I miss him,” she said tearfully.
His sister, Ms Devi, said her brother was a kind-hearted person and usually got along with the villagers in Ra.
Police
Ms Naisoro said the victim’s vehicle was hit by a vehicle allegedly driven by a 26-year-old tertiary student.

Kolinio Nuve said his niece, Talica Nakasa, was attending a funeral at Malabe Village, Wainibuka, Tailevu last Friday, with her family when a road accident claimed her life near Dakuivuna Village along the Kings Road.
Mr Nuve said his niece was on the front seat of a vehicle that was driven by her father, while her fouryear-old daughter sat in the backseat with her niece and Ms Nakasa’s sister.
“The accident happened about 2pm last Friday. We were at Malabe attending a funeral and they (Ms Nakasa and her family) were travelling to Korovou when the accident happened.
They were hit by a big truck that went off the road. Her father tried to avoid it, but it was too late,” he said.
“It’s not easy for us to accept this because we were at one funeral when we received news of their accident.
We were all shocked. The father has been discharged while the three others remain admitted.”
Ms Nakasa’s husband who works in Australia had arranged for her and her daughter to join him this month.
He said discussions had been made for Ms Nakasa to be buried at Burenitu Village in Ra this Saturday.
Ms Nakasa is survived by her husband and four-year-old daughter.
Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro confirmed the incident.
“The victim’s father, sister and four-year-old daughter sustained serious injuries and all are admitted at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital. The suspect will be questioned soon.”

Necessary treatment was initiated but her condition deteriorated and she died around 7:30 am," said Dr Vinod Bhargav, Rural Medical Assistant (RMA) posted at the health centre. "We told the family members that a hearse would arrive soon. It came around 9:20 am, but by then they had left with the body," he added.
