ASSAULT AT SAVALALO BUS TERMINAL

The suspect of an assault incident at Savalalo bus terminal which was posted on Facebook has been arrested and remanded in custody until the 16th of June 2020 for mention. The video clip of this incident went viral on Facebook where the defendant was recorded assaulting a 17-year-old at Savalalo bus terminal. The suspect is a juvenile. Samoa Police Service wishes to acknowledge Vaimoso village council for bringing the suspect to police.

Samoa Police Service (‘SPS’) wishes to advise the public that the use of social media is for good, positive, and appropriate practice. Furthermore, the use of social media to instigate violence sheds negativity on our Christian community and Samoan customs and values.

The arrest of this young man should be a deterrent for those who are contemplating to inappropriately use social media to commit a crime, harass, or intimidate others. There is no future in being incarcerated and breaking the law.
