Tonga police are continuing their investigation into the death of New Zealand police officer Kali Fungavaka, who received fatal injuries while in police custody on the night of August 17.
Tonga's Commissioner Grant O'Fee said today that the homicide team under Deputy Commissioner Fa'aoa was still interviewing witnesses and re-interviewing others to gain more detail.
"Police are very grateful to the members of the public that have come forward with information to assist in the investigation into the death of Kali Fungavaka," he said.
The Commissioner added that it was a very painstaking job collating all the information and cross referencing it to ensure they gave the Solicitor General the best possible information for him to decide on what charges will be finally laid in relation to the death.
