Meanwhile our correspondent in Apia, Autagavaia Tipi Autagavaia, says cultural protocol usually requires an ifoga or apology by gift giving, to take place.
"That will be very interesting if the government and the ministry of police are going to perform that very important part of our culture by performing an ifoga to a family of the deceased or in accidents of this kind."
