Autopsy shows Laufa suffered head injury: Police

Investigations into the death of the late Ruby Laufa has progressed as results from the autopsy showed that she suffered a head injury.

NCD metropolitan superintendent Ben Turi told Loop PNG they gathered that she had landed on her head when she fell out of the car.

However, they do not have enough evidence as yet to charge the suspect.

“They were the only two people in the car when the incident happened. It was one-on-one,” says Turi.

“If only there was a third person in the vehicle who tells us that ‘No, she didn't jump out of the vehicle’, then we would be able to charge him.”

The traffic division will now question the suspect, who Turi revealed had already engaged a lawyer.

Meanwhile, during Laufa's candlelight vigil yesterday, the family called for eyewitnesses to go to the police and give their statements.

The former Miss PNG tragically passed away last Saturday.

Investigations are still ongoing to determine how she had died.
