A student currently studying Catechist at the Nazareth Apostolic Centre (NAC) in Central Guadalcanal has been arrested and charged for a murder incident that occurred last week.
Guadalcanal Police (GP) carried out the arrest and apprehended the suspect, a statement from Police Media Unit said.
Provincial Police Commander (PPC) Guadalcanal Province Chief Superintendent Rodney Kuma said, “The murder suspect has been dealt with and currently remanded at Rove Correctional facility for his trial on a later date.”
“The suspect was a student at the NAC who attended school for Catechist and was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.”
Chief Superintendent Kuma said, the deceased had died after he was brutally attacked and killed by the suspect. The deceased was transported to National Referral Hospital (NRH) Morgue where a post-mortem was carried out.
“A post mortem examination has been conducted and will form part of the investigation.”
The Guadalcanal Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this case to come forward and assist with the investigation.
Police also appeal to both parties to refrain from taking the laws into their own hands and allow police to deal with the matter.
