Suspect in Laufa death will not go uncharged, says police

The main witness and suspect involved in the incident which led to the death of the former Miss PNG- Ruby Ann Laufa will not go uncharged.

Director for Police Traffic, Joe Joseph told Loop PNG that the big challenge with the case is that it is only built around the witness statements from those who had seen what happened before and after the incident.

“We do not know exactly what happened between the suspect and the victim unless there was a third witness who was in the car to tell of the actual events.”

Josephs’ says that incident was a serious and fatal accident that caused the death of one of our own and that police cannot preempt the charge of the suspect just as yet.

Our investigating team is still working on collecting hard evidence that can be used to present in court when he is charged.

“This is not a clear cut case and the complication is a challenge for traffic police.”

He said at the moment, the suspect who is also the only witness has not been charged but will be soon be after the investigations are completed.

“This will be in due time.”
