Bainimarama's former bodyguard Pita Matairavula jailed for 9 years with a non‑parole period of 6 years. We are grateful to the Sri Lankan judge who refused to cow to Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho who was shielding Matairavula and other killer Police Officers, and during the trial barged into the courtroom, presumably to intimidate the presiding judge
Judge Aruna Aluthge: "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW"

Eight suspended police officers and a soldier have been given jail sentences in the Vilikesa Soko and Senijeli Boila case by the Lautoka High Court this afternoon.

Manasa Talala and Seruvi Caqusau have been sentenced to 8 years imprisonment with a non-parole period of 5 years, Kelevi Sewatu, Penaia Drauna and Senitiki Natakasavu were sentenced to 7 years imprisonment with a non‑parole period of 4 years while Filise Vere, Viliame Vereivalu, Jona Davonu and Pita Matairavula have been sentenced to 9 years imprisonment with a non‑parole period of 6 years.

Manasa Talala, Seruvi Caqusau, Kelevi Sewatu, Penaia Drauna, Filise Vere, Viliame Vereivalu, Jona Davonu, Pita Matairavula and Senitiki Natakasavu were each charged with the rape and sexual assault of Vilikesa Soko and Senijeli Boila.

Soko succumbed to his injuries and later died in custody.

The incidents happened in August 2014 in Malevu, in the Western Division.

Manasa Talala and Viliame Vereivalu were also charged with defeating the course of justice by instructing other police officers to make false statements. Source: Fijivillage News
