Former Miss PNG Ruby‑Ann Laufa

The autopsy report on the late former Miss PNG Ruby‑Ann Laufa who died after she fell off her boyfriend’s moving vehicle has been made public by PNG Police.

PNGFM reports that the post mortem report concludes that 25-year-old Laufa died after she sustained a skull fracture and blunt trauma to the head when she fell off the vehicle.

Chief Sergeant Ulagias Mantu from the Homicide Unit said other injuries to her body were sustained when she fell on her back.

The case will now be transferred to Traffic Police to decide whether to go ahead with investigations or request for an inquest.

They will then be able to know if the suspect or the driver of the vehicle will be charged.

Sergeant Mantu says there were only two people in the vehicle which was the driver and deceased when she met her fate and at this stage the police or the Homicide can only speak from the autopsy report but eye witnesses have been asked to come forward.

The suspect was detained at Boroko Police Station for safety reasons and he left the station yesterday.
