PNG’s most wanted criminal Tommy Baker has been shot dead around 10pm last night in Alotau, Milne Bay Province.
Milne Bay Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Peter Barkie confirmed this with PNG Hausbung this morning.
He said Baker’s body is now at Alotau General Hospital and that further information on the operation will be released by Police Commissioner David Manning today.
The manhunt for Baker and his gang members began in May after the attack on a police barracks in Alotau late in April among other strings of criminal activities.
Since 2013 when he was on the run, Baker was arrested twice but escaped until his recent shooting.
