Women’s leader calls for justice

 By MALUM NALU

LAE women’s leader and business personality Sarah Haoda Todd has condemned the shooting of Moanna Barnanga Pisimi along the Malahang Back Road in Lae last Thursday morning.

Todd, who is spearheading a campaign for justice in the case with an online group called #Justice forMoanna, said: “I fully condemn the senseless shooting of an innocent young woman Moanna Pisimi. She was a wife, mother, daughter and sister. 

“At the age of 24, she had the rest of her life ahead of her and had young sons and a husband who adored her. 

“Her demise is a huge loss to her young sons who will not have the pleasure of knowing her as they grow up. 

“It is a huge loss to family, clan, community, tribe and nation.”

Todd said unconfirmed reports indicated that police had chased the vehicle she was driving before she was shot. 

She was with husband Thomas at the Dragon Nightclub earlier. 

Police in Lae are expected to hold a media conference today.
