Hard labour for senior constable

Police men and women are not above the law and will comply with the laws before they enforce it, says acting judge Nicholas Miviri of the Kimbe National Court, when passing sentence against an officer who abused his authority by discharging a firearm in public in 2016 at Morokea village.

A 41-year-old senior constable, based in West New Britain Province with 22 years’ service, will spend the next two years in hard labour at Lakiemata jail.
