Fiji Times Editor’s vehicle vandalised
10/03/2009
|
The editor of Fiji’s major newspaper and his family were rudely awaken early this morning after a group of men entered their compound and smashed the windows of his company vehicle.
Fiji Times editor Netani Rika also confirmed to Fijilive that he had lodged a report at the Central Police Station in Suva at around 11am today.
He said the incident occurred around 2.15am while they were asleep.
He said he learnt from the neighbours that about three men were involved in the incident.
Police spokesman Atunaisa Sokomuri also confirmed that a report had been lodged.
He said police would not rule out foul play at this stage as investigations continued.
But Rika said he had his own suspicions.
“I do have my suspects and I have conveyed it to police,” Rika told Fijilive.
“I think I know why (the incident occurred to him). Until I can be certain, I will not speculate,” he said.
Rika said damage sustained was estimated at around $1500 to $2000.
