A murder suspect has been re-arrested after Central Police conducted an unexpected police raid in a home in Vanapa, Central Province.
Provincial Police Commander Laimo Asi said the suspect, from Tapini, had escaped from police custody earlier this year for murdering his wife, and was hiding in the house.
“Just as well we conducted the unexpected raid and caught them off guard,” stated the PPC.
Police also arrested a man for possessing an unlicensed firearm.
They attained a search warrant to search the offender’s home and the firearm was confiscated.
Meanwhile, Asi said the election operations are progressing well and will continue into the polling period.
“Police will not tolerate behaviour of any sort that will disrupt peace in the communities in Central Province.”
