Police Commissioner, Gary Baki, says the case of five missing scientists of the Institute of Medical Research, will be re-opened, after their mysterious disappearance in West New Britain waters 5-years ago.
Tania Oakiva, Gibson Gideon, Leonard Vavan, George Dogoya and Lydia Petrus were conducting malarial research in Kaliai-Kove LLG in August 2011 when they disappeared. Prime Minister Peter O'Neill had announced a Coronial Inquest in 2013, after the country's biggest maritime search covering five provinces, yielded no results. Families of the five described the Inquest's findings, which suggested they may have "drowned and died", as inconclusive, saying it does not bring comfort or closure. A 30-thousand Kina reward by the I-M-R in 2012 did not help either. But Commissioner Baki has assured, police will revisit the case. "Work has already been undertaken at the Police Headquarters we will defenetly reopen the case, I give my assurance on that." Baki was officiating at the 2016 NGI Police dedication service in Kokopo yesterday.
