An investigation has begun following the death of a 29-year-old man at the Nadi Police Station yesterday.
Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro said the victim had been escorted to the Nadi Police Station from Suva on Monday as he was wanted for a series of fraud cases pending against him in Nadi.
Naisoro said after he was questioned on Monday night, he was locked in a cell as his interview was expected to continue the next morning.
She said the victim was last seen alive by an officer the next morning whilst escorting another suspect from the cell.
However, once the same officer returned with the victim’s breakfast an hour later, the detainee was found dead inside the cell.
