Negligent driving charges against Samoan Catholic priest dropped
Posted at 02:07 on 30 July, 2010 UTC
The trial of a Catholic priest in Samoa, charged with negligent driving causing the death of a nine year-old child, has been abandoned because police couldn’t prove the charge.
Father Petelo Leilua, the parish priest in the Lotofaga district, had given the child a ride on the back of his pick up truck.
The child is believed to have died after jumping from the vehicle.
