11:17 am on 24 December 2013

A Samoan woman has been found dead in her Vailele home on the weekend.

Vailele residents told Talamua Online the woman ran a flea market and lived alone and had not been seen for a week.

They say she also went overseas regularly.

A bad smell from her home caused neighbours to contact the Police to investigate.

A Police Spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Fauono Tala Tapu said police are still identifying the cause of death, but they are not ruling out foul play.
