Fiji police have admitted that photographs and videotapes found in the Suva home of murdered Red Cross director John Scott and his New Zealand-born partner did not contain any pornographic images.
Sergeant Unaisi Vuniwaqa said investigators had finished viewing the seized tapes and photographs, which police initially thoughtcontained pornography.
"However, we wish to confirm that the result is negative and that none contained any material that is pornographic in nature."
Rumours that Mr Scott and Gregory Scrivener were involved in paedophilia and drug use have flourished since the partners were found hacked to death on July 1.
Allegations emerged during daily press conferences that the killings were connected to their homosexual lifestyle and Suva street kids claimed to have performed sexual favours for the couple in exchange for food and cash.
But Sergeant Vuniwaqa said the so-called pornographic videotapes were regular home movies.
"What we have been told by the investigators is that the tapes contained movies and there's nothing to suggest pornography or anything of that sort."
A spokesman for the Scrivener family said yesterday that they had always been confident the tapes would contain nothing untoward.
Family members have said they believed the killings were politically motivated as Mr Scott may have been called to give evidence at George Speight's coming treason trial.
The Fijian Daily Post had quoted an unidentified police source as saying a well-known politician, two radio personalities, journalists, two prominent Suva lawyers and street kids were among the "main %actors" in the allegedly pornographic videos.
%Sergeant Vuniwaqa yesterday refused to say whether such people featured on the videotapes.
Fiji police were still awaiting test results to identify a white powder found at the couple's home.
Sergeant Vuniwaqa said Fiji's sole Government analyst was extremely busy.
Three Fijian constables were sacked last week and now face theft charges for allegedly stealing cash, food, liquor, CDs and gym equipment from the Scott-Scrivener home after the killings.
Apitia Kaisau, the 23-year-old Fijian charged with the double murder, will reappear in court next Friday.
