Last weekend, my
younger daughter found herself in the cells at Top Town police station.
She had been to a
Chinese kai bar in the Buchanan building in Eriku and ordered soup and a meal.
But the waitress
refused to give her soup and my daughters scolded her. The Chinese manager
brought her soup.
The waitress abused her
for causing her trouble. Later as my daughter left the kai bar, the thug
waitress followed her out and tried to bash her.
My daughter defended
herself after a year of Karate in Port Moresby. Three more waitresses came out
and bashed her. The Chinese owner did not attempt to stop them.
The first I knew of it
was when my daughter phoned from the police cells asking her dad to come and
bail her out.
After the bashing, the
female thug waitress phoned the police who came and arrested my daughter and
put her in the cells for “insulting language”.
No mention was made of
the violent attack of the thug waitresses.
I was told by the
senior constable (two hooks) that the bail was K300. He told my daughter to
come to collect her bail receipt on the Monday. There was no bail receipt
issued on the Monday. The policeman said the Court would be on Wednesday.
I did not trust the
constable who took the K300 and went to the District Court each day to check
her name on the notice board.
There was no Court on
Wednesday and no list on the notice board all week. My daughter met the thug
waitress when she came to check who shouted her for not appearing in Court.
The thug waitress
announced that my daughter was to pay a fine of K600. There was no Court but
only bushkanaka justice at the hands of a rogue waitress.
Three days later, my
daughter was met at her workplace by two constables obviously friends of the
thug waitress and told that if she did not pay the K600 she would be arrested
again.
This is what we may call out of Court police extortion. I
was advised of the police threat by my elder daughter.
I thundered down to the
kai bar to confront the Chinese manager and his thug waitresses who bashed my
daughter.
The Chinese manager
would not give his name nor confirm that he had a passport or work permit. He
originally said he did not have a passport but changed his mind.
The thug waitress
announced she would have me arrested probably by her friend the corrupt cop who
came to the work place.
We arrived at the Top
Town Police station to find her talking to a police first constable at the
counter.
My elder daughter identified him as the policeman who
threatened my daughter at the work place.
The issue died when we
arrived and I talked about the violence that was directed at my daughter before
her arrest for “insulting language”. This was pure lies and tricks by a kai bar
waitress.
It is obvious that the
bail money was stolen by the first constable who did not charge my daughter for
Court hearing. He wanted to keep the money.
The thug waitress
wanted her money which she probably planned to share with the two corrupt
constables. So they made up their own Court finding and fine.
The plan was to steal
bail money (K300) and a fake fine (K600) but it never happened, thanks to a
father with detailed knowledge of the law.
This report will go on
blog and be passed to the Police Station Commander at Top Town Police.
