Madang has had two recent incidents involving one of its "popular" families

 
 
 
Madang has had two recent incidents involving one of its "popular" families. One involved a gun being fired at the Air Niugini terminal at the airport. The other, at the town's only nightclub less than a fortnight ago, saw a man slashed across the face losing an eye and being urinated on as he lay screaming on the floor. The perpetrators were two sons of a man who would be described in Australian journalese as a "colourful local identity" and who has taken out an injunction to prevent the police from properly investigating the first incident, an injunction that was granted in Kimbe (?). No investigations into either incident appear to be in process. We in Madang have had to put up with the sh*t dished out by this "popular" family for years. The father seems to have ensured that they remain apparently untouchable by a combination of bribery and intimidation. The photo attached is from one of the son's Facebook page. FYI, people.
