NATIONAL Capital District (NCD) Governor Powes Parkop’s daughter-in-law was yesterday charged in the Waigaini committal court with abducting and assaulting a woman whom she suspected of having an affair with her husband.
Magistrate Paul Nii read out the charges to Quinnie Mick, 24, from Ambum’s Kupin Kem village in Enga.
She is married to Sengol Parkop who contested in the Moresby North West by-election last year.
Mick was charged with one count each of deprivation of liberty, robbery, threatening to kill and unlawful assault.
Magistrate Nii granted Mick bail but ordered her not to interfere with witnesses, not to leave the National Capital District and to attend court at all times.
The matter was adjourned to Feb 23.
According to police, Mick allegedly on Nov 30 between 9am and 1pm, used her husband’s mobile phone to send several text messages to Stacey Lydia Sirimai to meet up at a motel in Waigani.
Sirimai was part of Sengol’s campaign team in the by-election and Mick suspected she was having an affair with her husband.
Sirimai made her way to the motel after receiving the messages.
When she arrived, she stopped to chew betel nut when a group of people approached her from behind and allegedly started punching and kicking her.
Sirimai was then allegedly forced into a vehicle which was driven to Rainbow where she was repeatedly assaulted and threatened with small knives and the assailants also attempted to remove her pants in the car.
She was then driven back to Hohola where she was allegedly dragged out of the car and repeatedly asked if she had an affair with Sengol. Sirimai denied but her captors continued to assault her.
Sirimai begged them to stop but Mick and her accomplices ignored her pleas for mercy.
Policemen arrived at the scene and rushed Sirimai to the hospital.
She sustained bruises and cuts on her body and bled heavily.
The abduction and assault was reported to the police and Mick was arrested on Dec 17.
