Police say with the help of villagers the team of officers searched the rugged terrain to try and find more clues that could help establish the circumstances surrounding the family's death.

Both the man and woman were known to the family from Legalega.

Investigators have revealed that the findings of the post mortem examination were consistent with a substance consumed by all five victims.

More tests will be conducted by the Fiji Police Chemistry Scientific Lab in Nasova.

No visible injuries were found on the five people.
