WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - Former Solomon Islands militant leader Harold Keke and two associates were convicted Friday of murdering a government minister and sentenced to life in prison.
Keke, 34, Ronnie Cawa, 24, and Francis Lela, 22, had all pleaded innocent to killing Catholic priest and minister Augustine Geve on a remote beach on Guadalcanal island on August 20, 2002.
The sentence by the High Court in the Solomon Islands' capital of Honiara leaves no possibility of parole.
