A cordon had been thrown around Acting Prime Minister Sam Abal's house where police allege his son murdered a woman.
|||Police have increased security around Papua New Guinea's acting prime minister for fear of a traditional revenge attack after his son was accused of murdering a woman at the family home.
Police spokesman Dominic Kakas said Friday that a cordon had been thrown around Acting Prime Minister Sam Abal's house in the capital, Port Moresby, where police allege his 21-year-old son, Theo Abal, slashed the throat of a 29-year-old hostess he met in a bar Monday.
The cultural practice of payback has a long tradition in the South Pacific's most populous island nation. A murder victim's clan often takes out revenge on the killer or his family.
Kakas said the youngest of Sam Abal's two sons will be charged with willful murder. – Sapa-AP
