Corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP's Corruption Linked to Assassination.... Part 5

14/10/2017

Hon. Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III - Patriot and leader

The last time I wrote about the assassination of the late MP Luagalau Levaula Kamu, I mentioned that corrupt PM Tuilaepa ordered police officer and part time driver “Lapi” to take the SLR (self loading rifle/M16) to a ‘mystery man’ at Alafua. This raised the question, “Who was the ‘mystery man’ at Alafua that “Lapi” delivered the SLR to?”

After the assassination, Chief Inspector Peita Moalele discovered that the SLR which belonged to the police dept was missing from the police weapon storage. The story continues.

On the fateful evening of HRPP’s annual celebration, two police officers were on duty at the Fugalei market after 4:00 pm. Sergent Fineaso Aimaasu was the Sergeant in Charge of that shift.

Later on that evening, Sergeant Fineaso Aimaasu turned up at the Fugalei market and told the two officers on duty there, that he had just received a last minute call and instructions from Police Commissioner Asi Blakelock, for them to go to Alafua to guard the celebration there. Sergeant Fineaso then took the two officers and dropped them off to Alafua.

By the time these two police officers arrived at the HRPP celebrations, the hall was filled with guests and HRPP Party members and the celebration had already started. The officers were surprised to find out that they would be the only ones on duty to guard HRPP’s function.

Normally, corrupt PM Tuilaepa and the HRPP Party would notify the Police Department at least two weeks in advance to organize police officers to guard their celebrations and always, there’d be more than two police – at least 8 or more.

What was also odd that night was the band corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP invited to entertain at the celebrations. The band that was playing that night was the Tatiana Band instead of the Police Band that usually played at their annual ball every year.

It was the custom of the HRPP govt to invite all CEOs/Head of Departments to their annual celebration. But on this particular night, Police Commissioner Blakelock was the only one who decided not to attend but catch the last boat (vaa moe) to come here to Savaii for no particular reason.

Every HRPP celebration is always held at the HRPP Headquarters at Mulinuu. This was the first time in HRPP’s history the venue of their celebration was changed to St Joseph’s hall instead. Why? Was it because if the celebration on this particular night was to be held at Mulinuu, it would make it impossible for the perpetrator to escape due to the high fencing that surround the building?

This was also the first time HRPP didn’t have the police band play at the party. Why? Was it perhaps the presence of too many police officers would make the assassinator nervous and therefore not carry out what he was instructed to do? Or was it because to have that many police around would make it easier to catch the assassinator on site?

Why didn’t HRPP notify the police in advance of their program for their annual celebration as they usually did every other year?

And why didn’t former PC Asi (who was well aware as he was notified at a much earlier date) organize a team of police well in advance to guard the party for the safety of those who attended?

Why did Police Commissioner Asi Blakelock decide in the last minute to not attend the party but come to Savaii instead?

This was a well planned and thought out assassination. Obviously they had been planning it for a while and juggled with two victims in mind – either MP Luagalau or MP Foni Retzlaff, whoever came first. That night it was MP Luagalau.

You’d have to be a dumb, blind and stupid investigator to not see who was behind the assassination of the MP. But then again, the investigators were none other than the corrupt Police Commissioner Asi Blakelock and his corrupt police officers.

Police Commissioner Egon and the Attorney General Lemalu H. Retzlaff must reopen this case as key witnesses to this assassination (who were never interviewed nor gave statements at the time), are still around today. They need to bring in former Police Commissioner Asi Blakelock, corrupt PM Tuilaepa and other senior HRPP MPs at the time and question them all.

There’s a reason why this story has re-surfaced again lately and I believe it’s because the Truth must prevail and justice must be served. An innocent man was gunned down for serving his nation with transparency and accountability. To honor his integrity, courage and nobility, the case must be re-opened and those who got away, must face the consequences of their actions and role played in this assassination. His family and the nation deserve Truth and Justice.

Although it happened years ago, unfortunately till this day, the blood of the late MP Luagalau Levaula Kamu, still has not dried and has left a permanent stain on HRPP – for good.

Corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP's Corruption Linked to Assassination... Part 4

L-R: Former MP Misa Telefoni Retzlaff, Corrupt PM Tuilaepa and the late MP Luagalau Levaula Kamu.

I promised the people a while ago that I will give them Part 4 of the Luagalau Assasination story – here it is.

Before the assassination of the late HRPP MP, Luagalau Levaula Kamu, there was a rift within the HRPP caucus and corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s position as the Prime Minister of Samoa, was under grave threat when it was challenged by senior HRPP MPs. At that time, most senior members of HRPP wanted change and had preferred Misa Telefoni Retzlaff to be the Prime Minister.

Being challenged angered corrupt PM Tuilaepa very much and he felt the need to ‘settle the score’ – that was when he and his thugs hatched a plan for an assassination to secure his position.

It began with a missing SLR – a police rifle. Corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s driver at that time was a police officer named Lapi and he was instructed to smuggle a SLR (self loading rifle) to a man at Alafua. That rifle was smuggled out from the police's safe storage (for weapons) and it was similar to the one used in the assassination of the late MP Luagalau. I strongly believe it was the same rifle that was used to carry out the deed.

By the way, a Self Loading Rifle (SLR) is a semi-automatic rifle which can disperse up to 250 rounds of ammunition per minute. Here in Samoa, this type of powerful weapon is banned from being owned by the public but is only used by the police during their drug raids or guards of honour. I do have a few of these in my possession. So don’t come near me – I’m more concerned about your safety than mine. Lol lol lol

A Chief Inspector Peita Moalele discovered that a SLR/rifle was missing from the safe storage and so he raised the alarm and notified Police Commissioner Asi Semisi Blakelock. However, due to corruption within the police force at the time, the Chief Inspector’s concerns fell on deaf ears and so he resorted to writing to the Samoa Observer to expose the Truth about the rifle. But he was quickly silenced by both corrupt PM Tuilaepa and Police Commissioner Asi Blakelock.

As for corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s driver, Lapi, he was never charged in relation to the missing SLR/rifle but received a promotion to a higher rank instead.

The question is, “WHO WAS THE MAN IN ALAFUA THAT LAPI (Tuilaepa’s driver) SMUGGLED THE SLR TO?

Did he hand the SLR over to Toi Aukuso so Toi Aukuso can hand it over to Alatise Vitale to carry out the deed? Or did he place the SLR directly into the hands of Alatise Vitale?

The police need to find out exactly who the mysterious man was that Officer/driver Lapi handed the SLR to. Once they find out who that ‘mysterious man’ was, then that would link corrupt PM Tuilaepa directly to the murder of MP Luagalau as he was the one who ordered Lapi to deliver the SLR to a “man’ in Alafua.

Not long after the SLR/rifle went missing from the police weaponry storage, the assassination took place during a HRPP celebration held at the St Joseph’s hall, where the late MP Luagalau was fatally shot at cold blank.

The corrupt police and their Police Commissioner Asi Blakelock immediately worked on a cover up and put all the blame on Alatise (son of former MP Vitale) as he was the one who literally pulled the trigger.

Corrupt PM Tuilaepa quickly issued a statement claiming the bullet MP Luagalau took was really meant for him – this was to divert the public’s attention away from linking him to the assassination. The intended target to be assassinated was Misa Foni Retzlaff.

But the assassination of MP Luagalau was horrifying enough to send a strong message to the rest of the HRPP members to not dare challenge him again as he would not hesitate to do everything and anything to hold on to power. Not long afterwards, Misa T. Retzlaff resigned from his position of MP.

The trial of MP Vitale, MP Toi Aukuso and Alatise Vitale (son of MP Vitale) was riddled with corruption. The evidence were tampered with and the Police Commissioner at the time was also very corrupted.

As for Alatise Vitale who pulled the trigger, he should never had been sentenced to life in jail as he was constantly threatened, degraded and immensely pressured by his own father and some members of HRPP to carry out this evil deed. If this was a case in America, NZ or Australia, Alatise would’ve being charged with manslaughter instead and the HRPP MPs that were involved would’ve been charged with 1st degree murder and received either the death penalty or life in jail and never to be released.

All the stories at the time claiming Toi Aukuso and Leafa Vitale were jealous of MP Luagalau been appointed as the Minister of Public Works, are all excuses to cover up the Truth.

In recent years, corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP had appointed Misa Telefoni’s own son as our current Attorney General – it was all part of their throw off.

Police Commissioner Fuiavailiili Egon, AG Lemalu H. Retzlaff and the Cabinet need to re-open this case and bring the Truth to light about what actually happened that led to the assassination and cover up of the murder of MP Luagalau. Remember Toi Aukuso continued to claim his innocence right up to his last days. He took the Truth with him to his grave.

Poor Misa was ousted by the village for not letting them know beforehand why he resigned. But why would he tell them when Misa knew that the Pulenuu, the Tu’ua and the Sa’o o Aiga of Falelatai were all under corrupt PM Tuialepa’s thumb? For him to tell them the Truth would meant putting his own family at great risk. Till this day, he never told his children and his family the real reason why he resigned.

The question is, WHY ARE ALL THE HRPP MEMBERS (PAST AND PRESENT) AND THE GOOD POLICE WHO KNOW THE TRUTH DECIDED TO REMAIN SILENT?

It’s not hard to reopen this case – the police ( past and present) are still around today and they all need to be re-interviewed. Go over all the statements that were made back then and I will guarantee you they’ll contain enough evidence to send corrupt PM Tuilaepa, some HRPP MPs and corrupt former police officers to trial. Any key witnesses for the police in regards to this case, must be put under police protection 24/7.

We can always ask for assistance from overseas govts (NZ, Australia, US, UK) to help assist our police and to protect the key witnesses with this particular case if re-opened, as it is a high profile case and it involves corrupt politicians.

Corrupt PM Tuilaepa and his corrupt HRPP members are not a god. They only became powerful because you people gave them power when you surrendered your power to them. Only thru the Truth will you re-gain your power and freedom from these corrupt and oppressing leaders.
