Girl takes own life over affair with in-law

By GABRIEL FITO
A FEMALE teenager, who was caught having sex with her elder sister’s husband at the weekend in Angoram, East Sepik, has committed suicide to avoid shame and embarrassment.
Provincial police commander Vincent Pokas said the young girl lived with her sister and husband and their children at the Gavien Rubber Scheme, at Angoram.
Police alleged that the girl and her brother in-law had a relationship without the knowledge of his wife until last weekend when she caught them “red-handed”.
Police said the girl, who regretted betraying her sister, killed herself later.
The incident was reported to police who are investigating.
Meanwhile, an expatriate has lost K8,000, a passport and other valuables after his bag was snatched at the Kapmandu service station, on Cathedral Road in Wewak, while he was refuelling his vehicle on Monday afternoon.
Pokas said four of the six suspects had been apprehended by police and were in custody while two others were still on the run.
He said the mother of the chief suspect had been apprehended by police for being in possession of K3,500, a staple gun, ammunition and for receiving stolen property.
Her husband was charged with receiving stolen property after a search found K360 in his possession.
Pokas said he would return the passport to the expatriate while his men worked towards recovering the rest of the money and bring all responsible to justice.
