He said he was “saddened and shocked” at such an act taking place in Samoa and expressed sympathy for the family of the dead men and those impacted as a result.
His concern is that this sort of crime is being driven by poverty to the point that “people no longer care about killing other people.”
“There was not only one death but two and that is the worry - that it might be extending from the cost of living and other things.”
Tautua prays that this sort of crime does not happen again.
“It’s like a shock to the mind, especially considering when outside countries gain knowledge of this with large countries expected to attend meetings here - this will only deter and give them reason to fear coming here.”
Paluesalue urged families and the whole country to stop the violence.
Police investigations into the double murder are continuing.
