THE vehicle used by Senior Constable Nelson Kalimda has been recovered, however, the policeman is still missing, according to Hela police commander Chief Insp Robin Bore.
He said the vehicle was recovered within the premises of the residence of a prominent man in the province.
The residence had been left vacant as a result of a recent tribal fight.
“People from the community are coming up with some information so we are working to locate the whereabouts of the missing policeman,” he said.
“The vehicle was recovered in good condition. Nothing was removed or tampered with. The vehicle key was also in the ignition.
“We still do not have any concrete leads or information as to his (Kalimda) whereabouts.”
Assistant police commissioner, operations, Samson Kua and director special services Division Julius Tasion were sent to Tari last Tuesday to lead the investigation into the policeman’s disappearance.
Acting deputy commissioner of police, special operations, Donald Yamasombi visited the Red Sea Police Barracks in Bomana to update Kalimda’s family on the progress of the constabulary’s efforts to locate him and the situation of police personnel in Hela.
This came after frustrated police families blocked the entrance to the barracks.
“A petition was received on behalf of the police management at the Red Sea Barracks,” Yamasombi said.
“I reiterated the fact that the matter is being investigated and results will be made known.
“The day the men and women (now policemen and women) who decided to join the police, they swore an oath to serve their country and its people without fear, favour or ill will.”
