The Solomon Islands Police Commissioner Commissioner Mostyn Mangau has finally acknowledged a border incident in which two Papua New Guineans alleged they were bashed up by SI border police.
Mr Mangau, in a statement, said RSIPF is now working closely with its RPNG Constabulary and Bougainville Police Service colleagues to investigate the incident.
The statement said: "RSIPF are working close with PNG and Bougainville Police to further broaden up its investigation into the alleged border incident.
The Royal Solomon
Island Police Force (RSIPF) are closely working together with counterparts from
Bougainville and Papua New Guinea Police (PNG) to investigate RSIPF officers at
the Western border who allegedly beat up fishermen along the border between PNG
and Solomon Islands recently.
Commissioner Mostyn
Mangau says, “The Professional Standard Internal Investigation (PSII)
Department of RSIPF has established its investigation into the matter to
ascertain the border police actions on the matter.”
“It will take time to finalise the investigation due to current COVID-19
community transmission now we are experiencing and how fast investigators get
information from other counterparts from PNG and Bougainville.”
Mr Mangau says, “My
office will be receiving a report soon from my Bougainville counterpart through
our channel of networks to further look into matters as part of the investigation.”
“I don’t
want to further comment on those small detailed quotes by the writer of the
article as it is subject to investigation.”
