| Lawyer Felix Kange |
A prominent lawyer who allegedly shot dead his wife in Port Moresby earlier this month has handed himself over to the police. Felix Kange, 30, of Maia village, Pangia, Southern Highlands Province, was taken to the police crime investigation division at Boroko police station by his lawyer.
NCD Central Commander Sylvester Kalaut said. Kange was charged with one count of murder and will remain in custody until the National Court grants him bail. It is understood his lawyer will file a bail application. According to assistant commissioner of police Kalaut, it took a while to arrest Mr Kange because police needed to conduct a thorough investigation and interview witnesses at the scene of the alleged murder on May 14.
Regina Morove, 25, who has PNG and Australian parents, was an auditor with accounting firm KPMG when she was killed. It was alleged that Kange took out his licensed pistol from the couple’s room drawer and shot his wife in the forehead. The shooting happened at the family residence at Garden Hills at 8pm while Ms Morove and her sister were in the room getting ready for a family dinner at Lamana Hotel in Port Moresby. She was rushed to the hospital but died later.
