Acting Police Commissioner Fauono Talalelei Tapu said the discovery was made by a woman from the village of Vaito’omuli.
“She was collecting peanuts with her son at Gataivai when she saw a human skeleton hanging by a white cloth,” he said.
Fauono said that the human skeleton has been brought to the National Hospital at Moto’otua.
“An investigation is still ongoing to discover the identity of the skeleton,” he said.
“However last year, a 20-year-old male from Gataivai went missing in December and up till now, he has never been found."
“We suspect that it is someone from Gataivai and we also suspect that this is the 20-year-old who went missing last year."
“We are waiting for confirmation from the hospital.”
