Over two weeks after the mysterious deaths of five family members in Fiji's Nausori Highlands, a woman related to the group says she is still waiting for justice.

A farmer discovered Sangeeta Devi's parents, one of her sisters and her two nieces at the top of cliffs on 26 August.

Ms Devi's one-year-old daughter was also found crawling beside the bodies, dehydrated and sunburnt.

She said there had been no arrests or charges laid by police and a suspect was living in a neighbouring house.

"My whole family, the whole nation is in shock. We all want justice. The whole nation, Fiji wide, want justice for my family."

Sangeeta Devi said police have told her they are close to finding out what happened.
