The Samabula Police are currently investigating a case involving alleged sacrilege, where the individual at the center of the investigation is also a reported victim of assault.

According to police reports, a 38-year-old man allegedly broke into a church, during which he assaulted a security guard. However, the suspect was interrupted before he could carry out further actions and subsequently fled the scene. While escaping, he was caught by bystanders who then proceeded to assault him, an incident that has since gone viral on social media.

The suspect is now in custody, and investigators are working to identify the individuals involved in the assault on him. The Fiji Police Force has emphasized the importance of allowing law enforcement to handle incidents and has urged the public to refrain from taking justice into their own hands, as such actions can lead to severe consequences, including injury or even death.

This situation highlights the complexities of criminal incidents where the lines between perpetrator and victim can blur. It serves as a reminder of the critical need for community support for law enforcement to ensure safety and justice is administered properly.

In summary, while the incident began with an alleged crime, it escalated into a situation where the suspect also suffered harm. The police’s proactive approach to handling both sides of the incident shows their commitment to justice. It is an opportunity for community dialogue on the importance of lawful responses to crime.
