A Papua New Guinea lawyer, Danny Gonol, as offered to represent the relatives of the late prison escapee William Kapris and his accomplice Raphael Walimini.

The two, who were seen as among the most notorious criminals, were killed last month after being on the run for two months.

Mr Gonol says the two were shot dead in questionable circumstances as there are reports that contradict police claims that there was a shoot-out.

According to the reports, seven people were apprehended but Kapris and Walimini were separated and shot at point blank range.
