Madang PPC, Acting Superintendent Robert Baim, says the video footage of a brutal killing in the Raikos District that has gone viral this week occurred in August at Yawar, Astrolabe Bay Local Level Government in Rai Coast District.
He said CID officers have attended to the matter, and the perpetrators have been apprehended and are behind bars.
“They have appeared in court and are currently in custody. I appeal to those circulating the footage to stop and respect the court process, the deceased person, and his relatives. Stop misleading the people with outdated information/ stories that police are already taking carriage of,” PPC Baim said.
He further stated that such misleading information will also tarnish the good work already established through the law and justice sector and the community as a whole to take back Madang.
“Let us all work together and look forward to a bright next 50 years for Madang and PNG. Let’s not spoil but rather promote unity and discourage such from happening. Together, we will change Madang,” PPC Baim said.
According to Biam those who responsible for the attack are from the Walium in Usino/ Bundi District.
Local police confirmed a reconciliation ceremony has been planned for today between the deceased families and the perpetrators families.
