TWO policemen in Manus have been arrested and remanded over sexual offences, one drunk policeman allegedly burnt the daily occurrence book and locals attacked the police station, says Manus police commander Chief Supt Kiweri Kesambi.
Kesambi said the three alleged incidents all occurred early this month.
“Two of our police officers have been arrested over sexual allegations and are now remanded in custody,” he said.
“They are also suspended from duty.
“In another incident, our daily occurrence book was burnt by a drunk police officer.
“This officer has been arrested and charged accordingly, and suspended from duties. And early this month, locals stormed the police station, demanding the release of a murder suspect.
“The locals assaulted some of our officers, claiming that we (police) had allowed the murder suspect to roam freely outside of police cells instead of being detained inside the cell block.
“Officers have denied this and I have, therefore, made a request to our divisional commander to identify independent investigators from outside of Manus to come in and investigate this matter and take appropriate actions.”
Meanwhile, there was one wilful murder incident at Lowa village along the west coast of Manus.
“The deceased, was stabbed with a bayonet on his left shoulder.”
