PORT MORESBY: The committal court in Waigani has given the police two weeks to serve its hand up briefs to Sanctuary Hotel operations manager Jamie Pang.

Pang is charged with raping a 20-year-old woman in Port Moresby last year.

“The woman knows the whole truth about what happened and she should be here to tell the court.

“I ask the court to please let the justice be done and let me go home to my family. Everything on the police file were lies. I should be released from custody,” he added.

On Oct 20, the woman and her friend were picked up by Pang’s driver in Vadavada and taken to the hotel.

On their way, the woman’s friend told her that she was invited by her boyfriend for drinks and had booked a room for them.

It was alleged that the woman and her friend met Pang on their way up the stairs to the hotel room and he welcomed them.

The woman and her friend then stayed in the boyfriend’s room and later brought to Pang’s room.
