"Trigger-happy" Papua New Guinea police shot dead a young man while trying to clear a shanty town area in Port Moresby for development.
PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill said a full investigation was underway into police actions after the 25-year-old died.
"There are a few police that are not using reasonable means to address challenges they face and they jump into situations where they are trigger happy," Mr O'Neill said in a statement, adding the officers needed to be isolated to restore confidence in the force.
