PNG'S MAXIMUM BOMANA PRISON DISOBEYS PM PETER O'NEILL'S DIRECTIVE BANNING TEMPORARY RELEASE OF CONVICTS; A CAUSE FOR SERIOUS CONCERN AMONGST CITIZENS WHO WANT JUSTICE

INMATE SIGHTED ON STREET 

In a Post Courier news article on August 22, 2018, a man convicted for the murder of a student Lasen Simion Kaupe, from Sirunki Enga Province in 2010, has been spotted walking around as a free man on the streets of Port Moresby in July.

Mark Abaskas, a relative of Kaupe said he was concerned why the prisoner, Andrew Nangu Nyata was outside when he was supposed to be in jail.

“On July 27, at about 9.30 am, I was at Gordon bus stop when I spotted Andrew Nangu Nyata transferring from PMV bus 16 to bus 4 to go to town, Mr Abaskas said.

“I was confused why this prisoner was out in ordinary clothes roaming the streets. I laid my complaint on July 31 at Correctional Service (CS) office in Waigani.”

He said the CS confirmed that Andrew Nangu Nyata was a convicted prisoner at Bomana jail and was sentenced to 18 years over the death of Kaupe at Hohola in 2010.

A fight broke out at Hohola and the student was wrongly targeted and attacked severely. The doctor had pronounced him dead at the Port Moresby General Hospital from injuries he received.

“The matter was reported and two men were arrested and sent to Bomana, but one had escaped at Gordon due to neglect by CS officers,” he said.

Mr Abaskas said the CS has yet to verify how and why Mr Nyata was out of Bomana.

STATE OF ORIGIN MADNESS RESURFACED AS A BRAWL AMONG SUPPORTERS LED TO A DEATH OF POLICEMAN WHO WAS INTERVENING

DEATH OF A POLICEMAN MARRED STATE OF ORIGIN GAME

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.
