Hostages freed in PNG after week-long abduction FMTNews FMTWorld
Papua New Guinea’s prime minister James Marape said the hostages were freed after ‘covert operations’.
“It took us a while but the last three have been successfully returned,” Prime Minister James Marape said in a statement. The New Zealand man — a professor at an Australian university — and two Papua New Guinea women were taken hostage at gunpoint last Sunday in a remote and densely forested region. Earlier this week, the captors released another woman who was part of the group of academics and guides that had been kidnapped at gunpoint.
