Provincial Police Commander (PPC) for East Sepik Province (ESP), Superintendent Christopher Tamari is very furious about the constant use customary way to resolve crimes committed, because all crimes committed must be dealt with by the law of the land. Mr. Tamari is appealing to government official and the ones in power to put a law disregarding customary compensations in crimes, because it lacks the appropriate disciplinary penalties for a crime committed. “These customary ways of compensation indirectly encourage citizens to commit more crimes, knowing that customary compensation can relieve them from lawful penalties,” said Mr. Tamari. He said serious crimes immediately call for serious attention. Crimes should not be compensated for with money but be dealt with by the law. Meanwhile, Mr. Tamari this morning also confirmed that of the 24 youths that surrendered to police in the Yangoru Sausia district on Friday 3rd September, included 2 suspects involved in killings. One suspect in the killing of a youth in Pagwi village and the other one for a murder at Matapau village at the border of East Sepik and West Sepik Provinces. “The police have a full house of suspects in custody, they will be charged under law and put away as it should be,” said Mr. Tamari.
