In an unrelated development, police in Dema, Seke Rural, have arrested Ravison Simbini (41) for murder after he fatally assaulted his son Roy Ebenezer Simbini(14) with a leather belt last week on Monday.
Police said the victim had been confronted over allegations of drunkenness on the previous day resulting in the father assaulting him.
