Another Vanuatu police officer suspended

Vanuatu's caretaker prime minister, Sato Kilman, has suspended another police inspector, Iakar Silas.

Mr Silas's suspension comes five days after Mr Kilman suspended another officer, Jackson Noal on the advice of the police commissioner, John Taleo.

Mr Noal says his suspension was linked to a letter he wrote to the chair of the Police Service Commission asking that Taleo be suspended after he was convicted on two counts of dangerous driving.

Taleo remains in his job after he was on Friday fined more than US$300 for the crimes.
