ONE of more than 30 looters was killed in a fight with a trade store owner near Lae’s Igam Barracks on Friday, commander Chief Superintendent Chris Kunyanban says.
“The looters broke into the store on Friday night but they fled after one of them was killed by the store owner who acted in self-defence,” he added.
He said the situation was now tense and police were monitoring the situation.
“The looter was killed in the premises of the store owner and people have the right to protect their property when they are under attack,” Kunyanban said.
He said the same trend of a big group of criminals striking to loot or rob was used in the raid of University of Technology girls’ dormitory Igam again on Friday night.
