Fatal Ferris wheel accident report to ODPP

The Ministry of Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations has referred its findings into the fatal amusement ride accident that occurred at the Fiji Showcase to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

This is after six months had passed that the report is now being handed-over to ODPP for sanctions.

Speaking to FijiLive, Minister Responsible Agni Deo Singh said the report was forwarded to ODPP a couple of weeks ago.

Singh said he was not at liberty to divulge the details of the report.

The investigation into the amusement ride accident had begun in July.

A 21-year-old woman lost her life in the accident after falling from a Ferris wheel while two others were admitted in hospital with serious injuries.

The National OHS Service had then issued a prohibition notice for the operators of the Ferris wheel and a full investigation, which has been completed.

The amusement ride which was involved in the mishap is no longer permitted to operate.

FijiLive has reached out to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for comments.
