Snake bail

PNG Loop's 5@5

Man allegedly released on ‘snake bail’

Joe Walyo of Yapanda village, Wapenamanda, Enga Province appeared from custody at the Committal court after an arrest warrant was executed against him. He was re-arrested after he failed to turn up in court after he was released on K300 bail.   

Walyo told the court he did not attend court after he was released on Feb 20 because the police officer he allegedly paid his bail amount of K300 to did not give him a date to return to court.
