Nakasi Police are currently investigating two incidents of alleged arson and theft that occurred at Wainibuku Cemetery last Sunday. An official report detailing these incidents has been submitted to the Nakasi Police Station, where authorities are working diligently to determine the circumstances surrounding the events.
Reports indicate that the fire may have originated from an earlier cremation, which could have been manipulated to ignite the cemetery. As investigations progress, police are assessing all available evidence to get to the bottom of this troubling situation.
This incident draws a parallel with a recent fire that devastated a home in Waiqele, Labasa, on New Year’s Day, which was also suspected to be arson. In that case, homeowners Shalenee Devi and Nileshwar Prasad were away when their property was engulfed in flames, resulting in extensive damage and losses. The couple expressed their hope that law enforcement will act swiftly to bring those responsible for their misfortunes to justice.
Both instances underline a growing concern within communities regarding safety and security, highlighting the importance of vigilance and strong police-community partnerships. In times of distress, the resilience of those affected continues to shine through, fostering a spirit of collective hope and support for justice and improved safety.
As authorities work swiftly to investigate these incidents, it is hoped that the outcomes will lead to stronger protective measures within the community, paving the way for a safer environment for all residents.
