WHY, MY HUSBAND? Wife of Dead Inmate Asks

Siteri Verevakalau watches helplessly as her two young children hold a portrait of their late father, Mosese Talemainaivalu.

Mr Talemainaivalu who was an inmate at Korovou Corrections Centre died on March 25.

Cause of death? Alleged assault as issued in a statement by Chief of Intelligence, Investigations and Prosecutions Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Sakeo Raikaci yesterday.

To this, Ms Verevakalau wants answers.

She wants Police to find those involved in the alleged assault and bring them to justice.

She only heard of her husband’s demise when Fiji Corrections Service personnel visited her at their home in Nakasi to tell the news on the day he died.

“We were never told that he was sick and the only time the corrections officers visited us was to inform us that he had died,” Ms Verevakalau said.

“Why him? What happened?

“The inmates are the only ones telling us what really happened inside. It is so unfair that my children have lost their father at a very young age.

“My husband was a good man. He was hardworking and always prioritized his children.

“My husband ended up with the wrong crowd and that was why he was incarcerated but that did not give anyone any right to take his life.”

Ms Verevakalau said it was hard to explain to her children that their father would not be seeing them anymore.

“My eldest daughter, who is eight years old, is affected the most. She would wake up and ask her grandmother if her dad was coming back.

“It is sad that my husband was taken away from them at an early age,” she said.

“My children need answers and right now we need as much information as we can get.

Mr Talemainaivalu was 29 years old.

Police And Corrections Comment:

ACP Raikaci said the Criminal Investigations Department said the victim was admitted at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital on March 23 after he was allegedly assaulted by Corrections personnel.

ACP Raikaci said the victim passed away a few days later, and the matter was reported earlier this week.

Fiji Corrections Service spokesperson, Jone Kalouniviti, said there was an internal investigation in regards to the allegations.

“We would like to assure tht zero-tolerance for assault on prisoners stand,” he said.

“Their welfare is our main priority.” Mr Talemainaivalu will be laid to rest today at the Nasinu Cemetery.
