The young man won the vehicle through a promotion run by South Pacific Brewery and Boroko Foodworld.

The promotion started during Easter and ended on Thursday May 19, 2022. The promotion required customers from Boroko Foodworld’s liquor outlet to purchase any SPB product to enter a draw.

Habitein was one of many customers who purchased SP Brewery products and participated in the promotion. His receipt was picked in a draw and the Toyota Corolla presented to him, the next day.

Witnesses interviewed on Foodworld shooting

Although a motive is yet to be established, according to latest police investigations, 9mm Glock pistols were used by the two foreign (Filipino) guards (a supervisor and his subordinate) during the time of shooting.

Police also say both were employees of Dragon Security.

The foreign guard supervisor was shot dead while the other Filipino is in police custody.

Furthermore, two nationals (both children) sustained injuries from fragments of the bullet and were hospitalised.

Boroko FoodWorld shooting update

The shop was closed whole day Friday.

The Boroko Food World Supermarket doors were re-opened this morning.

While it was business as usual for the supermarket and its customers, it was a slow first day following the brutal shooting and murder of a Filipino man on Thursday evening.

Some shoppers we spoke to had no idea why the shop was closed whole day Friday.

Those who heard the news of the shooting said they were shocked and raised concerns on safety in public places.
