Topic: Ivens Buffett


  
  Ivens Buffett Information
Ivens François "Toon" Buffett was the Lands Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Norfolk Island.
Buffett's son, Leith, was arrested for - and later acquitted of - the murder of his father.
Police have been at pains to stress that the Buffett case is unrelated to the 2002 death of Janelle Patton who, until Buffett's death, had been the only person in the island's recent history to be murdered there.

 Manuscript Autobiography of the Reverend Arthur Hopkins (1934)
Ivens was to be three weeks with me. He had had much experience of south Mala and could make himself understood in the Lau language which the sea people all talked both in south and north Mala.
In his rage he was proceeding to attack and kill her, but a young chief from Ivens' district who was with him pro tem held him fast, until he came to his senses and his fury cooled, much, no doubt, to Ramfola's relief.
I spent a few days here at Dr Ivens schools in S Mala and found it most refreshing to be in a region free of wars and rumours of wars and to mix with people moving about freely, unarmed and neither preparing for or expecting attacks.
