HEARTLESS THIEVES: A Fijileaks investigation reveal that the thieves who stole from Winston victim Ben Mati and her disabled husband were bloody Indo-Fijians and native Fijians: "At night I hear the dogs barking and see them taking our stuff but I'm an old woman. I am too afraid to confront them. The other night someone just walked up to our door and walked off with our boots and shoes."
