SOLOMON ISLANDS: PNG Cops To Help With Riot Probes

Tuesday: June 6, 2006

(Post-Courier/PacNews) - Papua  New Guinea (PNG) has sent four senior forensic police officers to Solomon Islands to help with investigations into the 18 April unrest, where buildings were burnt down.

Also this year the Bomana Police College outside Port Moresby would start recruiting and training Solomon Islands police.

Solomon Islands High Commissioner to PNG Bernard Bata’anisia told the Post-Courier the country’s Foreign Affairs Minister Patteson Oti met with PNG Police Commissioner Sam Inguba to iron out details of the training and the assistance from the PNG Government.

Mr Bata’anisia said PNG offered to train Royal Solomon Island police at Bomana during Mr Oti’s meeting with Mr Inguba. Mr Oti is also acting Minister of Police and National Security.

 “I farewelled the four officers this morning (yesterday) and the Solomon Islands Government is very pleased and thankful to the assistance given by the PNG Government,” Mr Bata’anisia said. “This is PNG’s contribution to our Government to help investigate the April 18 turmoil which saw our government in chaos.”

The PNG officers to Solomon Islands include Chief Sergeant Gaspar Logoson, a finger print expert who is also the team leader, Senior Constable Felix Rayabrum, document examiner, First Constable Ronald Yaneku, expert in arson cases and crime scene examiner and Constable Samuel Koi, the forensic photographer.
