May 27, 2021The NationalMain Stories

POLICE and community leaders in Menyamya’s Hakwanga village, Morobe, have launched a manhunt for a 15-year-old boy who allegedly beheaded his elder brother on Tuesday.
The killing is believed to have occurred when Robson Paki, in his early 20s, refused to give his brother K50 for the sale of coffee beans.
Acting commander Chief Insp John Daviaga said Onni Paki fled into the bush after the fatal attack and “we are asking community leaders to work with us to arrest the boy”.
He said the murder occurred between 8am and 9am when Robson, after selling the coffee beans, was waiting for a vehicle to travel to Lae.
“Onni heard about the sales and looked for his brother,” he said.
“He then demanded K50 from him.
“Robson did not respond to his demand and turned to watch a gambling game of cards between villagers.
“Onni, without any warning, allegedly took out a bush knife and beheaded his brother while he was bending to watch the game.
“He then fled into the nearby coffee gardens.” Chief Insp Daviaga said investigations were continuing and Onni would be charged with murder when arrested.
The murder occurred after locals called on their local MP and the district administration to intervene and address lawlessness in the area.
Locals complained of growing violence remotes villages and that attacks, abuse, killings, unlawful wounding and other serious crimes were being reported weekly.
Chief Insp Daviaga said the rural police unit in Menyamya had no proper police lockups to hold suspects, stationery for paper work, fuel shortage for transport, no road or bad road conditions to reach crime scenes and manpower shortage.
