Wan Smolbag attack

Group of youth in Vanuatu sentenced for 'Wan Smolbag' attack

Peter Walker and two close friends were assaulted outside his Port Vila property nearly a year ago.

Justice Andre Wiltens said the behaviour had permanent consequences for the victims.

He said to categorise the offending as serious was inadequate saying it was an act of unprovoked gratuitous violence.

The Vanuatu Daily Post reported Samuel Molsir, 23, was sentenced to 11 years and four months prison on each charge of sexual intercourse without consent, robbery and intentional assault as well as a further year for criminal trespass and theft.
