Two youths from Efogi, Northern Province appeared at a District Court sitting held at Bomana today where 19-year-old Poksi Jacob was arraigned.

 His co-accused, a 17-year-old will now have his case dealt with by the Juvenile court in Port Moresby.

He will also be transferred from Bomana to the Hohola Juvenile Centre before his expected court appearance on March 19.

Both youths remain in custody. Their lawyer from the Public Solicitors office indicated they are working around moving a bail application when they return to court.
