Fortunately, police intercepted and shot one of the suspects.

Gerehu Police Station Commander, Robert Kurei, said two men held up the woman and whilst trying to get away in her car, a senior police officer arrived just in time to shoot one of the suspects down.

The other suspect was apprehended by police after his accomplice was shot and rushed to the Port Moresby General Hospital for treatment.

“Although the victim did not sustain any serious injuries, she was traumatised,” police say.

Disputed relationship leaves three injured

According to Gerehu Police, the couple had been going out a few years back and had a child but the relationship later broke up because the woman’s relatives disapproved of the man.

The couple had lost contact until recently, after the woman had joined the Bomana Police Training College. This was when the man allegedly started pursuing her into having a relationship with him again.

According to the woman’s statement, their families then agreed to sit together and discuss the matter, which they also brought to the attention of the police.
