Police have confirmed the discovery of another unidentified female body, found neatly packed inside a white bag along the 12-Mile Sogeri Road near Ilimo Farm in Central Province.

The disturbing discovery was made earlier this week by locals who alerted police after noticing the bag left by the roadside. Forensic officers from both the National Capital District and Central commands attended the scene and examined the body before it was transported by ambulance to the morgue.

Authorities believe the body is that of a woman, though her identity and the cause of death remain unknown. Police say they are working to trace the relatives of the deceased and have urged families with missing members to contact the nearest police station.

This marks the second incident of an unidentified female body found within a few kilometres of Port Moresby in recent weeks, sparking growing public concern about the safety of women and possible links between the two cases.

Central Provincial Police Commander Superintendent John Midi said investigations are ongoing. “We are taking this matter very seriously and appeal to the public for any information that could assist in identifying the victim or those responsible,” he said.
