THE front page of The Fiji Times of February 14, 1983 reported that the body of a taxidriver was recovered by police from a pool in Colo- i-Suva forest park.
The headline read, ‘Body Found In Pool’. The report said police found the deceased after a 24-hour search by about 50 officers from three stations.
Officers from Samabula, Nasinu and the Mobile Police Taskforce in Narere combed the forest in search of 32-year-old Rabindra Singh after his taxi was discovered by a forest ranger at Colo-i-Suva, which is about 11km from Suva CDB.

Fiji has enough consumables for COVID-19 tests, says Ministry of Health permanent secretary Dr James Fong.
The ministry’s Head of Health Protection, Dr Aalisha Sahukhan, said Fiji carried out two types of testing: the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test which was carried out at the Fiji Centre for Disease Control is one of them.
She said the testing was a conventional one and was introduced in Fiji in March last year.
