She says her one-year old daughter was dehydrated and sunburnt when found crawling beside the dead but is recovering and now feeding well.
"My whole family, the whole nation is in shock. We all want justice. The whole nation, Fiji wide, want justice to my family.
She says it is unbelievable she lost five members of her family at once and she is really missing them.
“Nobody else loses their family like I did. And like this house is like empty you know. And this is where we were like born and brought up and like now no one is in here to live. I wish nobody faces what I'm going through.”
Sangeeta Devi says she has faith the Fiji Police will do their job and they have told her they are getting very close to finding out what happened.
Sangeeta's uncle and the youngest brother of the man who died is Raj Kumar, a 52-year-old Uber driver who rushed to Fiji from West Auckland when he learned of the tragedy.
“I have been to the station and did my interview over there. And the policemens they told me that, Fiji Police told me that they are doing their work. And they have been done up to ninety-nine-point nine percent at the moment. And there is only a question mark that they are waiting for, and then they're going to do their work, see.”
Raj Kumar says he's been told all the bodies were clear of any physical assault, but police believe something had been given to the two girls, their mother and grandparents to drink, because there was a little blood in their mouths, so police are testing that substance.
He said it has taken so long and is now 12 days since the family's funeral.
He said the police's prime suspect and his partner cannot leave Fiji for New Zealand as the police have their passports and they are staying virtually next door but he hasn't had to see him every day.
“Because he got a big fence, fully fence like about six-meter-high fence wall, a brick wall, all the front and only he got a gate in the front, front where the road is which we walk, we go in every day. So, I will seen him only once I think about four or five days ago. I can't see his face, as soon as he saw my car, he just turn around and, but I seen him, the back part of him.”
Raj Kumar says the family is grateful for the public's sympathy but are struggling to cope in every way.
“Everybody person, even I don't know them, they meet me, they know me that I'm the brother of him and all every, every person whom I talking, they have tears in their eyes and everybody is praying for them, that you know, for justice, praying for justice.”
Fiji Police last commented on the case at the end of August when they said they had searched the bottom of the Nausori Highlands cliffs, saying their investigations are ongoing.
