JAYAPURA - Police still detain eight members of an armed gang suspected of being involved in a series of acts of violence in Papua. The gang leader Dani Kogoya and two of his followers Petrus Jikwa ans Sonny Kosay were arrested on Sunday at a hotel in Jayapura.
Police said the group has killed four civilians and an army soldier in Papua since last year.
Police did not say the motive of the violence committed by the group or whether they are separatists seeking Papua independence
Papua police spokesman Sr Comr. Yohannes Nugroho said the arrest of Dani and his two followers led to the arrest of 22 other people in Kamkey , but only five of them were held on charge of involvement in the criminal offenses committed by the group.
Dani is treated at a police hospital for a bullet wound he had after police shot him in the leg as he tried to escape arrest. Yohannes said a team of the hospital doctors decided to amputate his wounded right leg, therefore, he had to stay at the hospital bed for some time.
The other seven member of the group were held a police detention cells in Jayapura, he said. Dani is also suspected of being the one responsible for the death of a German citizen Dietmer Pieper shot at Pantai Base G, in May this year.
