![]() 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.
