Call for peace and compensation after brawl in Samoa

From , 5:04 am on 1 June 2018

The Samoan community is still reeling from last weekend's unrest on the island of Savaii.

At least fifty extra police had to be deployed to stop the dangerous fighting between a group of young men and boys from two villages, Salelavalu and Salelologa.

Two suspects were later handed over to the police by Salelavalu village matais and have been charged with grevious bodily harm.

Sara Vui-Talitu has more.
