Family satisfied with sentencing

Baria 45, who held a rank of First Constable with Lae Police was charged with wilful murder and today sentenced to 30 years imprisonment with hard labour.

Pisimi says although the family is satisfied that justice was served, it will not bring back his wife, and the mother of his children.

The families say they hope Baria’s sentencing sends a strong message to policemen and women that no one is above the law.

“There are many good hard working policemen and women but we always have those who are trigger happy and their actions make everyone look bad,” says Pisimi.
