Lawlessness related to Papua New Guinea's election continues to fester, with more deadly violence in the Highlands region.

PNG's 2017 election culminated in the start of its tenth parliament last week, and a vote for prime minister which returned Peter O'Neill to power.

Results are still pending in some electorates where unrest lingers, as Johnny Blades reports.
