Murder suspects arrested

Suspects wanted in relation to two murder cases in Central Province over the Easter weekend have been arrested and charged.

Central police Commander Laimo Asi tells Loop PNG that the murders occurred at Edevu and Musa block at Brown river.

Asi says that the man involved in the killing of a local at Musa block on Easter Friday was arrested and charged yesterday with wilful murder.

The suspect had been drinking with the victim and lured him to some nearby bushes and slit his throat.

Both the suspect and the victim were from Koari.

Meantime, at Edevu a man killed his brother-in-law in relation to a family dispute that was taken out of context.

Both suspects have been detained by police as of yesterday (March 30).
