Ruby Laufa death

Director for Traffic Police, Joe Joseph said this knowing that the need for justice for the family of the late Ruby Ann Laufa is paramount.

As much as the Traffic Police would like to build this case for charges to be made, Director Joseph says they need to collect more witness statements.

“Note that police were not present during the actual happening of the incident and police are only following due process to complete the investigations as soon as possible.”

NCD metropolitan police commander, Ben Turi, told Loop PNG tonight that the charges will be laid against the suspect following an autopsy on Laufa’s body, which is set to take place tomorrow.

The suspect, from East New Britain Province, is currently in custody, being questioned by Criminal Investigation Division (CID) officers.

Turi says the suspect was picked up after the incident yesterday that led to Laufa’s death.

Ruby-Anne Shantelle Kila Laufa, born on February 13, 1992, in Port Moresby, was the Miss South Pacific PNG 2012-2013.
