A 25-year-old man has been arrested, alleged of assaulting his wife and attempting to harm their two-year-old child.
Auki police are appealing to parents across Malaita province to be responsible for their families and think ‘family first’ before deciding to engage in any social activity.
Malaita Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Michael Ramosaea told Island Sun the accused was under the influence of liquor when the allegations happened.
The matter was reported to police on January 10, Mr Ramosaea said.
“The suspect is now remanded in police custody awaiting his court case on a later date.
“I appeal to our young couples to respect their own families and become selective when doing things.
“I also want to call on parents who have children that are already starting their own families to support them with advice and guidance on what to do and what not to do,” he said.
