Police Suspect Hit-And-Run
Police suspect that the 14-year-old boy, who was found lying motionless along Drasa Avenue in Lautoka at around 10pm on Wednesday, was a victim of a hit and run.
Police spokesperson, Ana Naisoro said information received by a security officer was that the victim, Ratu Alivereti Spenser, was involved in a fight with two others.
Not long after this, the same security guard found the victim lying motionless on the side of the road.
Ms Naisoro said detectives were working on footage taken from a business house along the same area.
“They are working on footage they extracted from CCTV so they suspect it could have been a hit and run because as soon as a truck passed, they saw the victim lying there,” she said.
She said Police would also wait on the results from the post mortem examination which was conducted on Friday.
