Raun Wara

Member for Lae and Deputy Prime Minister, John Rosso, says LCA now legally owns the land after years of fighting illegal land grabbers.

DPM Rosso, who is also the Minister for Lands & Physical Planning, has reclaimed all recreational areas and sporting fields in the city and placed them under LCA for the benefit of Lae residents.

All these are in line with his vision of restoring Lae to its former glory.

The deceased’s body was found floating at a lake in Lae, commonly known as Raun Wara, on January 22, by passersby.

Lae metropolitan superintendent, Commander Anthony Wagambie Jnr, said it was alleged that the deceased was with two other men when they were assaulted by these police officers, who were reportedly using a hired vehicle and were under the influence of alcohol.
