assault

Debaim Kewa appeared at the Boroko District Court this week after he was arrested and charged on Dec 15, 2016 for unlawfully assaulting a woman on Dec 13,2016 over alcohol.

Police allege that Kewa went to the complainant, Lina James around 5pm on Dec 13 last year while under the influence of alcohol and demanded he be given K50 so he can go and buy more alcohol.  The woman refused saying she had no money which prompted the attack.

The man appeared at the Waigani Committal Court on Wednesday where his two charges were read and explained to him.

He was arrested on Dec 23, 2016, and charged for sexually assaulting a nine-year-old girl at the ATS settlement.

It is alleged he sexually assaulted the girl on two different occasions. The assault started on Dec 5 when the girl’s parents went to the clinic.

His second attempt to violate the minor on Dec 7, 2016, failed when the mother of the victim caught him.

The perpetrator lived with the victim’s family.

PNGDF Commander Gilbert Toropo confirmed this with Loop PNG this morning.

Toropo said he had just received the report this morning regarding the assault from senior people in Madang.

He said such behaviour from the PNGDF Navy is unaccepted and those involved will be dealt with.

He added that his directives are clear and that those involved and caused bodily harm to the businessman will be discharged from the force.

Singirok described the actions by the PNGDF Navy officers as shameful and coward in nature.

The prominent businessman Sai Bodo and his family were assaulted by the soldiers on their way home on Saturday night.

He said the brutal assault on a long time resident of Madang by men in white uniform brings more light to the inner rot and indiscipline in the ranks of the PNGDF.

 From mainland China, Hense Wu appeared in court before Magistrate Cosmas Bidar who read and explained his charges to him before the court.

Police allege he beat up a national male, Michael Peter Mell on Sept 26 at the Elisio Wholesale at Gordon after Mell stole from his shop.

Wu however said through a statement in court that the man he was alleged to have beaten up had previously stolen from Elisio four times adding it was not him but the public who beat Mell up.

 Ernest Haurama, 31-years of age, appeared before Magistrate Mariestella Painap today where he pleaded guilty to swearing at his former partner and assaulting her.

The court was told that the incident took place at Tokarara where he used vulgar language against the woman and her family.

Haurama admitted to the facts stated in the police documents before court but said he was provoked by the complainant, adding he also received his share of harassment by the woman’s family members.

Police alleged the former North Queensland Cowboys and Sydney Roosters player assaulted a 28-year-old man after an argument broke out on a Mudgeeraba street about 8:00pm.

The alleged victim was treated at Robina Hospital for minor injuries.

Watts, who is 29 and from NSW, is due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court later today on one count of assault occasioning bodily harm.

The man was arrested by police after he was reported by his mother for beating his younger sister on Thursday night.

The 16 year old girl sustained a broken left arm and a dislocated shoulder from the beating.

Police said the man beat his sister because she refused to give him money for alcohol.

The incident took place at their 3 mile house in Port Moresby.

The man is now in custody and will be facing charges of assault and using  threatening and intimidating words.
