The body of a young man was found early this morning inside a drain just adjacent to the Gordons police station, Port Moresby.
The morning rush hour was brought to halt as the passing public lined up beside the drain to see the lifeless body that was lying inside the drain between the Pilipino Basket Hall and the police station.
Gordons Police confirmed that the body was identified by relatives as a young man in his 20’s from the Hela Province.
Gordons Police stated that there was no rain last night that could have caused the drain to flood and brought the body there. Police believed that the murder was done somewhere else, and the body dumped in the drain late last night or in the early hours of this morning.
The body was removed from the drain around 9am after the Police Criminal Investigation Division (CID) made assessments and examined the body.
This is now a homicide case and is now in the hands of CID to do further investigation into the cause of death.
