Police are searching for two men who escaped from lawful custody at the Honiara Magistrates’ Court earlier this week and are still at large.
Frank Firimolea, 29, and Eric Nathaniel Jr, 24, of Malaita Province escaped as they were about to be transported to the Rove correctional facility on Wednesday, 18 October after being remanded in custody in the Honiara court. They had appeared on armed robbery charges.
According to Police Commissioner Matthew Varley, Mr Firimolea and Mr Nathaniel were not handcuffed and escaped as officers were moving two other prisoners into a vehicle.
