AN early morning car chase through central Suva and Tamavua ended when an escaped prisoner fell to his death over a 50-metre cliff.
This tragic story was published in The Fiji Times on March 23, 1986.
The report also said another escaped prisoner, who had jumped with the dead man, was in serious condition at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital.
And police were looking for three others who were with the two escaped prisoners in the car.
