Police in Tulagi, Central Islands have arrested an adult male suspect for intimidating a 12-year-old girl at Vuturua village in Small Ngella, Central Province, on 11 November 2025.
In a statement from the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force on Monday, November 17, 2025, Provincial Police Commander (PPC) for Central Province, Superintendent David Soakai, said it was alleged that the suspect disagreed with the 12-year-old girl about the ownership of a cut nut tree, of which the victim should have asked him about before picking up nuts from the tree.
PPC Soaki said that while the victim was collecting nuts from the tree, the suspect walked to the victim with a bush knife and intimidated her.
“Superintendent Soakai said the victim screamed in fear, standing still with panic. Seeing the action done by the suspect, she cried. Luckily, the victim’s elder sister shouted at the suspect, and he walked away from the victim,” said RSIPF.
RSIPF said the suspect was arrested and dealt with and having been released on bail, he will appear before the court on a later date.
