Student’s location secret
By CLIFFORD FAIPARIK
THE whereabouts of a female student facing a wilful murder charge over the death of her boyfriend last November will remain confidential for her personal safety, court officials say.
The grade 11 female student was remanded at Bomana Prison but acting prison commander Supt Yelly Oiufa said she was never returned to jail after appearing in court on Dec 11 last year.
“From our records, this particular female charged with wilful murder of her 23-year-old boyfriend on Nov 24 was admitted to the Bomana Correctional Institution by police under a remand warrant from the Port Moresby Juvenile Court on Dec 3,” Oiufa said.
“She was then taken by police back to the same court on the Dec 11, but did not return to Bomana.
“Should you require any information regarding this case, then you should check with the Port Moresby Juvenile Court on what happened after the court case.” National Capital District Met Supt Perou N’dranou said police had already done their part by investigating and arresting the suspect.
“The suspect has been taken to court and it’s up to the court what to do with the suspect,” he said.
Juvenile Court officials who requested anonymity said the suspect was a juvenile thus protected under the Lukautim Pikinini Act 2014.
“We can’t divulge information of her court process because she will be at risk as she is a murder suspect.
“(It may) expose her to retaliation by the victim’s relatives.”
Met Supt N’dranou earlier said the suspect allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death with a kitchen knife in his rented house at Waigani on Nov 24 during an argument.
The boyfriend, late Samuel Joseph Pumai from Western Highlands and Chimbu was employed as an economist with the Department of Treasury for five months after graduating from the University of PNG.

She is not a kid, she is matured. Please let her fsce the full force of law.
What is so special about her.. Let the justices Prevail..
By looking at her picture over the social media when she killed her boyfriend,she doesn’t look like a teenager or a underage girl as claimed????she is very mature and look similar of any woman.Let her stay in prision for what she did.Its so sad and unjust for killing one of the highly educated elites of PNG and live freely and seperate from the rest of the murderer who are in prision….
I am pretty sure she did not consider herself a juvenile or underage to be protected under the Lukautim Pikinini Act when she had a sexual relationship with the victim. Common people… you knowingly did it but now you realize certain laws can protect you after a life is lost…
This is a joke to our justice system? she should be tried as an adult because of the seriousness of the crime committed. Crime was committed with intent and by conscience she knew what she’s about to commit is wrong but she let her emotion making the best of it, and she did it any way. She can not be treated different from everybody else., face the consequences of your crime and do the time the right and just way.
She is no other than murderer, she is mature and had affairs with the deceased and this is so serious. Hunt for her and lock her up. No excuse under juvenile/ child protection.She is a mature adult.
She deserved to be in prison not under protected lukautim pikinini act..
If there is a law to protect the juveniles against murder.Why don’t we have have a law for the appropriate age of marriage.Because this under age or juveniles are not matured enough to handle a marital relationship.For instance consider her age and that of late Jennelyn Kennedy.

If she was having sexuall relationship and above 16 years then she is capable of getting pregnant , hence , she can not be referred to as a child. It was a premeditated murder , a willful act, which was deliberately committed. She must be brought to face justice as an adult and punished accordingly.
For such a case which was commited willfully, LP Acts should not be protecting her. Let her to face the consequences. If a lady was murdered in such a manner, the so called leaders will be opening their mouths to an extreme width and saying alot of nonsense. If they are advocating about voilence aganist women, such violence against men such be treated in an identical manner.
Our justice system is a joke. Put her in the same prison cell with that wife torturer and let them face each other. Who said she’s an underage juvenile? She was mature inside-out during her relationship with the dead victim!
She is a murderer and deceive to be in prison . She was above 16 yrs old when she committed the act . Our judicial system is weak and only money talks as her parents are business man and woman
She was having sexual relations with her man, now deceased. Hence she is not a child but an adult cold blooded murderer.
Let her face prison life at Bomana like any another common criminal. Maybe the hardened females at Bomana prison will welcome her
How old is she then? M no luk osem 1pla underage too yah
Lets all urge the family of the disease to apeal and put the freak behind bars. No one is above the law? Liklik o bikpla, you knew it but you did it so face it. Even juvenile or what so ever putim em lo cell just like everyone.
Mipla cry lo justice blo Jenelyne so nau yumi cry lo justice blo Samuel.
JUSTICE FOR ALL!
Em ino mangi moa na yupla givm sans lo em stap
let the law give him punishment for her wrong doing or give her life imprisonment because she take away the life of human being
She has taken the life of another person which she has not right to do that. Life is a blessing to us by God, thus only God has the total right to take it away from us. No one can stand in Gods place to take away that life. The girl’s boy friend’s life is a blessing to his parents and when she took away that life from them, the parents were left in agony and pain. Murder is a sin. Sin is a sin regardless of age, whether you are teen or an adult committing the crime and that is a universal law above all other. She murdered out of her self interest and greed and she needs to be penalized like another fellow female convicts. She is not special class.
I want Lawyers and judges to make some comments regarding such issues because they know very well about the laws.They only keep their big mouths shut and hiding in some corners.
Really mad.
