POLICE say their investigations revealed there was no place crash in east Malaita as reported.


“Following an extensive search, Atoifi Police confirmed this afternoon (yesterday) that there are no findings to indicate any plane crash as reported earlier,” a police statement said.

There have been various reports of sighting of a plane crashing into the ocean by villagers in Ogou Village and inhabitants of Leli Island just off the northeast coast of Malaita near Atoifi.

A police boat and a number of local banana boats searched the suspected crash site but were unable to find any evidence to confirm or indicate such occurrences.
