Auki police in Malaita Province are investigating the death of a young boy along the South Road in Malaita Province on Friday, January 2, 2026.
Malaita Provincial Police Commander, Superintendent Michael Ramosaea, confirmed this to Island Sun Auki on Monday this week, saying the incident took place at a U-turn along the south road around 6pm.
A post-mortem is being carried out, Island Sun understands. The results of the post-mortem will be available later this week.
“Yes, reports reaching us from the police indicate that the deceased was about 15 years old and was killed, so a post-mortem was carried out to verify the cause of death, and the results should be known by this week.
“The victim is a well-known person for selling fish and chips around Auki town. Unfortunately, it might be his time, but we didn’t want it to happen,” he said.
Superintendent Ramosaea calls on the family of the victim to stay calm and respect the law of this country.
“It might be hard, but we must be patient in our decision-making,” he said.
