"PC Brian Bett of GSU Nakuamoru is yet to be traced. They were stripped naked and their arms and uniforms were stolen," the OB read.
The report adds that three Land Cruiser vehicles; GKB 739T (Katilu police station), GK B 147T (ASTU Kainuk), and GKB 599T (GSU Nakuamoru), which were being used by the officers were deflated, and are still at the scene.
"One of the vehicles has been set ablaze and others vandalised. Due to dangers at the scene, the vandalism was not quantified. The officers have retreated to ASTU Kainuk together with the bodies to restrategize. There is an urgent need for air support," a signal sent out by the police added.
"From the scene, the officers managed to recover the bodies of three officers who were missing and had succumbed to their injuries."
