Student Death

The badly ridden mother had to take the body back home in what has been described as a very sad scenario by those present at the hospital on Wednesday.

Calls for safer driving have now been made to commuters along the Bougainville trunk road from Buin to Arawa then to Buka.

The accident that happened along the highway according to eye witnesses, was  caused by loose gravel and excessive speed.

People have now appealed to police for tougher traffic regulations especially for unlicensed drivers and drunk driving.

PNGDF Chief of Staff Colonel Mark Goina says that the matter first and foremost is a civil case being handled by police and supported by the army, who are providing the necessary information needed to conduct their investigations and bring those responsible to court.

Goina says that in relation to the three soldiers who are currently on bail they are still members of the Defence Force and will remain as such while the court process takes its course.
