Vanimo morgue

PNG national’s death in Indonesia ‘suspicious’

West Sepik Provincial Police Commander, Moses Ibsage, says the body of the deceased was brought back to PNG and is currently at the Vanimo morgue waiting to be identified.

He said the deceased is from Aitape.

The PPC said at this stage they do not know the circumstances surrounding the death of the PNG national, adding it was claimed the deceased was involved in drug trafficking.

“His body has been repatriated to PNG by road. The sad thing is that there wasn’t any post mortem conducted on the other side,” stated the PPC.
