On Tuesday, June 27, a 40-year-old man from Marmar village died from wounds sustained during an election-related clash.
Provincial police commander (PPC), Joseph Tabali, told Loop PNG that the fight started on June 22, a day before the campaign period was to end.
“After campaigning, the deceased, Beringson Paul, and his team convoyed back to Marmar village, sometime between 8 and 9pm,” says Tabali.
“There they started preparing rations for the final day of campaigning, June 23.”
