Bongre has been undergoing a number of scans at the Pacific International Hospital’s radiology section, over the last few weeks.

The results confirmed the three year old has Stage 4b Retinoblastoma.

A man from the Highlands region was found stabbed to death at Gordon’s in the early hours of Monday morning. His wounds were mostly around his genital area.

Police say a Central Province woman, who was reported to be with the man earlier in the evening, is now wanted by police for questioning.

NCD police boss Ben Turi says initial reports say the woman was spotted fleeing the scene during the early hours of Sunday morning.

Turi is appealing to members of the community around the Geita place area, Henao Drive, to come forward with any information into the incident.

Bongre Anton Peter however, is a three-year-old that has been robbed of this opportunity.

He has been living with a cancerous growth around his eye for two years now.

"He used to see with both eyes, but the growth around his right eye has completely blocked off his sight in that eye," said mother, Sinto Peter.

"It doesn't pain a lot but it passes pus and blood," she said.

This is a factor behind Bongre's low blood supply, which has also forced the toddler to be less active.

The boy and his parents are currently in Port Moresby seeking medical help.

“That is part of the requirement that I wanted them to have a look at and provide a guideline for our police officers. They are carrying firearms because I have authorised them to do so.”

“They have displayed to us the capabilities that they can also be able to provide to the RPNGC in terms of response capability should we be faced with serious security threats.

Baki said despite public criticisms, the idea is to do observation, training assistance in terms of advice particularly for the police officers on ground within NCD.

And lead singer George Sheppard says this is in fact the first time they have dropped all songs on the album, which is yet to be released.

“It has always been our dream to come back and perform here so it was amazing. Thank you for having us. It was an awesome night,” George said after the performance.

PPP Leader Ben Micah announced that as part of their policy, they are going to set up two most important ministries called Rural Development Ministry and Urban Development Ministry.
