A police senior sergeant died from injuries he sustained from a bow and arrow attack in Port Moresby.

54-year-old, Ludwig Dondo a member of the NCD Dog Unit died at the Port Moresby General Hospital as a result of his injuries.

The father of five from Talasia in the West New Britain Province, and his colleagues were responding to reports of a drug trade and sales when he was hit by a stray arrow at ATS Block.

Divisional Commander for NCD and Central, Anthony Wagambie Jnr in a statement called on the public to identify the killers.

“I strongly condemn this barbaric killing, and I am now urging the residents of ATS settlement to surrender the suspects to police immediately,” ACP Wagambie said.

The Commander said NCD Metropolitan police will work around the clock to find and arrest the suspects involved in this ruthless murder.

The arrow penetrated the Sergeant’s left rib and he was rushed to Hospital. He passed away at 2.30pm.

Members of Dog Unit retaliated by torching several houses at the ATS Block, Eight Mile.

Senior Sergeant Dodo passed out from Bomana Police College in 1985 and worked with other sections within the Constabulary before transferring to the NCD Dog unit until his untimely passing this afternoon.

The body of the late Sergeant was taken to his family home at Bomana and later taken to the Funeral Home.
