Strange enough! The PGN guys usually look very similar to any of the local men here! How could he be found out?!

Poor guy, handover him back to PNG authorities to imprison him in their prison.

Probably a human smuggler who has been enlisting candidates to flee to PNG and then to Australia.. May be he was involved in the "Boat People" trade... DO not just deport him, extract infromation from him... he may lead to Bigger SHARKS

If one did not pay the Cops, there 'Santhosa' due, then they would be found out, anyhow.
