“I was told to be careful of them”: In Toulon, a family suspected of holding and killing overseas military personnel

A family in Toulon is under investigation for allegedly holding and killing French military personnel from overseas territories. Investigators discovered the remains of two victims, both originating from New Caledonia, in July. The Akau Vegi-Wing family is suspected of targeting vulnerable young individuals from the Pacific islands over a period of several years.

Sources indicate that the family preyed on isolated young people who had recently arrived from the Pacific, potentially exploiting their unfamiliarity with the region and their isolation. The motive behind these alleged crimes remains under investigation, but the pattern suggests a deliberate and prolonged targeting of specific individuals.

The discovery of the remains has sent shockwaves through the community, particularly among expatriate populations from the Pacific. Authorities are continuing their investigation, seeking to uncover the full extent of the alleged crimes and determine if there are more victims. The case raises serious concerns about the safety and vulnerability of young people moving to metropolitan France from overseas territories.

This investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to piece together the timeline of events and establish concrete evidence against the suspects. The focus is on understanding how these individuals were targeted and the circumstances leading to their deaths. The French judiciary is handling the case, with support from local law enforcement in Toulon.
