The National Capital District (NCD) Police officers have arrested three men allegedly involved in the rape and murder of the late Margaret Gamaru Gabriel on Saturday, 15, February 2025. Police are working on the crime scene to confirm any possible leads that will connect the deceased and the suspects. Police who were hard at work apprehended one of the suspects on Wednesday who had a necklace that witnesses identified that belonged to the late deceased. Commander of National Capital District (NCD) and Central Provinces acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Benjamin Turi had also confirmed that police are also investigating the other murder cases reported in the command. He said police investigators are trying their best to make sure that those involved in taking the lives of others must face justice. According to Commander Turi, it is too soon for PNG to provide results to the public about the apprehension of suspects. One way to fast track the apprehension of those suspects is to report to police where their whereabouts are. He also noted an incident that happened where a suspect of murder surrendered to police but later escaped while in police custody. Turi said the officers who were with the suspects are known, and he will deal with them accordingly. He said police presence at the eviction site is for the security of those carrying out the eviction and to monitor possible suspects moving around that area. He added the relatives of suspects involved in the rape and murder of the lady at Baruni do not help provide information to police, so police are trying their best to find those suspects involved. Police have been present at the eviction site providing security and monitoring suspects. Relatives of the suspects in the Baruni rape and murder case are not cooperating, so police are trying their best to find them. Commander Turi said it is hard to deal with such serious cases and provide results as soon as possible because the people involved are also scared and will avoid the police. He said that as time goes by police will still catch up with them. He said the public must also assist the police in providing information about possible suspects involved in committing any forms of crimes. Commander Turi stated that results cannot be provided quickly as dealing with serious cases is challenging with suspect scared to cooperate with police. However, he assured that the police will eventually catch them, emphasizing the importance of the public assisting to police by providing information about potential suspects or leads involved in crimes.
