The fight, which started on Sunday, claimed the lives of two people while several injuries were also reported.

However, since yesterday, the situation at the area between the Gerehu Yumi Yet compound has been contained.

This was revealed by the Gerehu police station commander (PSC), Robert Kurei.

The PSC noted that on Monday, both parties from the Hagen and Pangia communities agreed to let police handle the situation.
