Breakthrough in Port Moresby alleged piracy, murder case

Port Moresby Police have made inroads into the piracy and murder case which happened on Tuesday on the seas surrounding the nation’s capital Central Business District.

A reliable source told Loop PNG that police yesterday took back the motor stolen from the boat at a Motu-Koita village. They would not name the village in case the suspects are alerted.

The source added that police intelligence have already identified witnesses and potential suspects in the stealing and murder of the boat owner from Roku Village, in the Kairuku – Hiri electorate of Central Province.

NCD police boss Ben Turi told Loop PNG yesterday that eyewitnesses had already come forward with helpful information on the attackers.

“We are yet to verify the number of people who were involved and we commend those that have come forward, providing information to help police investigation,” says Turi.
