Auki police have arrested a man in his 50s for having assaulted his wife on June 26, 2025 in West Kwara’ae, Malaita province.
The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) in a statement said the man was heavily intoxicated and allegedly assaulted his wife after accusing her of consuming alcohol at a family wedding.
After the alleged incident, relatives of the victim rushed her to Fauabu clinic for urgent medical care.
Superintendent Michael Ramosaea, Supervising Provincial Police Commander (PPC) for Malaita province, said their investigation reveals a disturbing history of repeated assaults.
He strongly condemns violence against women and reminds individuals that such violence will not be tolerated in communities around Malaita province.
RSIPF encourages families who are encountering issues like this to seek help from authorities, support services, and church leaders.
“Police urge community members to speak out against domestic violence and cultivate a culture of respect and safety for all,” said the statement.
