from Post Courier, 14th June 06

There are two national dailies in PNG, the Post Courier and the National. I could not download this one so I have had to type this one in. "Three dead in fight over pig. Three men are dead and two are seriously injured after a fight sparked from alleged arguments over a pig belonging to a councillor of Vunabaur in East New Britain got nasty....The fight occurred on Monday between villagers from Vunabaur and Ganai...Between 1pm and 3pm the Councillor along with three men from Vunabaur went to Ganai to demand compensation for stealing his pig...The Ganai villagers allegedly attacked the councillor and the three men with bush knives. The men reportedly returned to Vunabaur and told their people who ganged up and returned to to Ganai where they attacked with bush knives. Police attended the scene and arrested 19 people."
Closer to the University there is a rape crime in which "the woman was threatened and raped allegedly by a security guard outside the UOT campus. the woman was returning from work late at night. The security guard escaped and was still on the run."
