Investigations into the K1.2m Jackson airport heist case has taken a twist as another group of police investigators have now surfaced.
In an exclusive interview with Loop PNG, NCD metropolitan superintendent, Commander Ben Turi, says he only authorised the first group of investigators who started working on the case after the robbery.
“I did not sanction the second group. I don’t know who authorised them.”
Turi says the new group of investigators just showed up and took over the case, accusing the initial investigators of being compromised.
However, the Met Supt alleges that the new investigators were previously involved in a high profile money case that is yet to be resolved.
Turi says a lot of things do not add up, explaining that the suspect, whose body was found last Monday at Baruni, should not have been released in the first place.
“Why and how did CID release him?”
For now, Turi says while he does not want to interfere with their investigation, he will observe their conduct.
