Politician
Who is Augustine Geve?
Augustine Geve was a Solomon Islands Catholic priest and politician.
He was first elected to Parliament in the December 2001 general election, as MP for South Guadalcanal, at the time of the violent ethnic conflict on Guadalcanal. He was then appointed Minister for Youth, Women and Sports in Prime Minister Allan Kemakeza's Cabinet.
On August 20, 2002, he was assassinated by Ronnie Cawa, Francis Lela and warlord Harold Keke "on a remote beach" on Guadalcanal. The three men were convicted for the crime and several other murders in March 2005 by High Court judge Frank Kabui, who sentenced them to life in gaol. Geve's vacant seat in Parliament was filled in a bye-election, and he was succeeded by Victor Totu.
