Deaths and violence hit media headlines in Papua New Guinea following the origin games year in year out.
The games are played in Australia, the country's former coloniser.
Such ill-behaviors always fill the country's tag as rugby loving yet a mad country.
The behavior did not change as seen in the country's second biggest town Lae last night when a policeman was stabbed to death whilst on duty.
The incident happened last night (between 8-9pm) near Obu in the Nabak LLG in the Nawaeb district of Morobe when his unit was intervening to a State of Origin game-related brawl among youths.
A suspect inflicted knife wounds on him multiple times.
The corpse of Finschafen origin is now at the Funeral Home in 14 Mile outside Lae.
