Death in military custody sparks murder investigation in Fiji | The Pacific | ABC News
Fiji’s military is under scrutiny after high-profile drug pusher Jone Vakarisi died in custody last week.
Authorities initially said he suffered a medical emergency but later revised that account after a leaked death certificate listed the cause as asphyxiation, along with severe head and chest injuries.
Johnson Raela also speaks to USP researcher Jope Tarai about the fallout.
