The Papua New Guinean police dog squad was
invited into the Manus Island detention centre under instruction from a senior
G4S guard before a riot erupted on 17 February, according to a graphic
statement seen by Guardian Australia.


The statement of a guard, employed by the security
contractor G4S which runs the detention centre for the Australian government,
was written the morning after the violence and provides the most detailed description
and timeline yet of how events unfolded in the Manus clashes, which left one asylum
seeker dead and dozens injured.


Guardian Australia has also seen a page of
what is understood to be the official “incident report” provided to the Immigration
Department, which shows how G4S staff “lost control” of the local riot squad
during Monday night’s unrest.
