New Zealander who escaped Tongan prison still on the run

Liuaki Fungalei Kokohu Vi, a New Zealander, remains at large after escaping Tonga’s Central Police Station over the weekend along with two others. This escape has sparked significant interest and concern, especially given Vi's New Zealand ties. The incident underscores the challenges in cross-border legal and security cooperation, highlighting potential lapses in the Tongan justice system that allowed such an escape. Authorities are now working to apprehend Vi, who's still evading capture, raising questions about the safety and oversight within Tonga's correctional facilities.
