Kimbe

Before you can say a vacation anywhere in Papua New Guinea will satisfy this desire, note also, that not every province gives the same experience.

The church was packed as United Church followers congregated from three church circuits in the region.

George Brown was a Methodist missionary born in England but migrated to New Zealand in 1855. In 1874-75, he travelled in Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and New Zealand, canvassing support. He then visited Fiji and Samoa for volunteer missionaries then later arrived in New Britain.

In 1878, New Britain locals allegedly murdered and ate a Fijian missionary and three teachers but this did not deter Brown from his mission.

The Kimbe Grammar School, Karl Hesse Primary and St. Monica’s Elementary School in the residential area of Section 21 had their classes disrupted after a group of men retaliated to the killing.

The deceased, from Sepik and WNB parentage, was chopped to death at Section 21 on June 26. This occurred in front of the tucker shops at the 7^th street, leading to what is known as Wabag City.

The perpetrator, believed to be from Enga Province, has fled and police are appealing to the public to bring the person to the Kimbe Police Station for charges to be laid.
