The Badili Police are trying to establish a connection to the both deaths that occurred two weeks apart but share very similar circumstances. Police Station Commander, Inspector Jerry Obert, said the suspicious death they uncovered at the Tania Ladeara Beach at Vabukori and the one found on the hill share many similarities and could be linked.
The deceased was identified as Frank Kuvi, a man from West New Britain married to a Gulf woman residing in the area. He was said to have gone to work early on Thursday morning and did not return that evening until his body body was found by an in-law the next day on the beach.
“He had gone out the day before but did not return home that evening for dinner and was found the next day dead on the beach with the flesh on the top part of his right arm ripped off and most of his internal organs missing,” the PSC said.
Obert said the scene of the crime over the weekend shared a similar resemblance to that of a body found not too far from where Kuvi’s body was seen.
He said that both deaths shared a similar nature, with both bodies missing vital organs and with no blood at each scene.
“It was perfectly placed as if someone had orchestrated the murders. The one on the 16th of September was found on the hill adjacent to the beach, a male, with his genitals mutilated and his clothes folded neatly beside the body and Kuvi’s body with all his internal organs gone with his clothes folded neatly beside him, this in the span of 2 weeks,” Obert said.
The PSC stated that it looked intentional premeditated but at the moment they are treating both cases as isolated and suspicious deaths.
At the moment, all evidence has been submitted to the Homicide division at the Boroko police station to determine the cause of the death of Kuvi.
