In Papua New Guinea, police are investigating the murder of four people including a teenage boy, allegedly carried out by a gang at Bautama outside Port Moresby.

The teenager, who attends Mount Diamond Secondary School near Bautama, is believed to be the son of an auxiliary staff member of the school.

He and a male friend were killed on their way home on Saturday night.

Police allege the gang then attacked and killed two men who were pulled over by the side of the road with a flat tyre, in what may have been a random attack.
