He said Libet Marasimba and others blocked a section of the road at Maringei village and tried to rob vehicles on Dec 21.
Supt Beli said police arrived at the scene and shot Marasimba while he was trying to attack innocent motorists.
Police also reported the killing of a 42-year-old male from Woginara, Dagua, last Wednesday.
Supt Beli said three suspects allegedly used bush knives and an axe to murder the man.
A hit-and-run accident was reported at Yarapi, outside Wewak town, on New Year’s Day, he said.
Supt Beli said the driver was locked up at the Wewak station.
