Cop beheaded in land dispute row
PORT MORESBY: A traffic policeman in Madang was beheaded over a land issue near Tapo on Wednesday (July 10, 2019).
In such violence, even the police have become the victim. Such a slaughter is simply uncivilised and the killers must be brought to justice.
And, in another incident, a 32-year-old man stabbed to death a 24-year-old man with a knife.
PNG Cyber Monitor reproduces below details of the killings published by The National:
Madang police investigating death of reserve police who was beheaded
By DOROTHY MARKMADANG police are investigating the beheading of a reserve police officer attached to its traffic department.
The officer, Roy Sisio, from Raicoast, was allegedly beheaded on Wednesday following an argument with some people over a land issue near Tapo outside Madang.
The actual cause of the killing is yet to be established.
In a separate incident in town on the same night, a 32-year-old man from East Sepik had an argument with a man, 24, from Jiwaka, and stabbed him to death with a knife.
A police brief sent to Madang police commander Chief Insp Ben Neneo and assistant commissioner northern command Peter Guinness said the suspect, from Parimbe in East Sepik, who lived at Wagol settlement allegedly met the deceased Eskay Timothy Taimerol, from Mange village in Nondugul, Jiwaka, and had an argument.
The report said Taimerol went to buy beer from John Buri and on his return he and one other person met the suspect on the way to where Taimerol lived.
“There he drew a kitchen knife and stabbed Taimerol,” the report said.
Taimerol was pronounced dead on arrival at Modilon hospital.
In retaliation Sepik students attending Jiwaka Teachers’ College were chased by locals, the report said.
College principal Muri Kale described the mob which chased the Sepik students as opportunists.
There were no casualties.
