Disgraced Police Commissioner Isikia Savua has blamed stress and trauma which the police have suffered for a policeman murdering his wife in Ba. Savua told a media conference that the nation's police force suffered significant stress after the terrorists' activity last year. Savua had effectively abandoned his post, preparing his senior officers for his departure to the Prime Minister's Office, leaving the police force leaderless, when the terrorists had started their rampage. The police force was without any leader for over 2 months since the terrorists took over the Parliament Complex. Savua's defence of the murder has shocked the nation. The state's chief psychologist has
condemned Savua for venturing in an area which he knows little about. The
women's lobby has also condemned Savua for justifying the murder. |
