Morobe provincial police commander Alex N’Drasal has appealed to leaders of both communties to surrender the suspects in both killings for questioning.
N’Drasal said that after the killing of the Kabwum man a week ago, a suspect was apprehended and detained in police custody.

Two police units were deployed to contain the situation
Wampar local level government council manager Joe Paru told The National that the incident occurred after the third State of Origin game on Wednesday last week.
The relatives of the deceased demanded K25,000 and three pigs for compensation within three days and that the suspects be handed over to police.
Paru said the suspects were never surrendered and the compensation demand was never met.
