Burial in Taputapuatea following the murder in Faa'a
According to Google News FR — Crime (fr), a man in his thirties, fatally stabbed on 13 August in Faa'a in the Faatauira neighbourhood, was buried this Saturday in Taputapuatea, on the island of Raiatea, surrounded by his family and loved ones. He was the father of a young daughter.
Two people have been charged and remanded in custody in connection with this case. For the relatives of the deceased, described as deeply loved, this day was marked by sorrow and reflection.
A troubling coincidence marked this Saturday 22 August on the sacred island: two separate criminal cases, two young men deceased, two burials organised on the same day. Heirani Taruoura was also buried this Saturday in Raiatea, in the same context of collective mourning.
Teina Giovanni, uncle of the deceased, indicated that family members feel anger following this tragedy, but he himself called for peace. "I call on them to have peace. We will let justice do its work," he stated.
