Police initiate peace negotiations

Jiwaka Provincial Police Commander (PPC) Chief Inspector Albert Korin said the fight started on January 4th between the Wika and Waka tribes in Nondugl. The Waka tribe accused the Wika tribe of stealing a pig causing a fight that cost the life of a man from the Waka tribe.

PPC Korin stated that the Wika tribe had refused to surrender the murder suspect, which then caused the tribesman of the deceased (Waka tribe) to organize an attack and killed four men from the Wika tribe.
