'No one told me': Samoan man serves five more years in prison than he had to

Sio Agafili was given concurrent sentences and should have got out in 2015. But he served them consecutively until a judge spotted the mistake

A Samoan man has spent nearly five extra years in prison because neither he, nor prison authorities realised that his two sentences should have been served concurrently, not consecutively.

Sio Agafili, 45, should have been released in December 2015, but he remained in jail until a judge spotted the error when he appeared in court on another matter.
