Mob kills two security guards of paper mill: Two security guards

Mob kills two security guards of paper mill: Two security guards of a pulp and paper mill were killed in a clash with a mob on Sunday. Their bodies were found floating in the Kampar river in Riau on Tuesday.

Marcus, 30, and Hendra, 25, were killed when a mob attacked the factory in protest of the company's rejection to buy or transport their illegal logs following an increase in international pressure.

Nandik Suparyono, the spokesman for PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper, confirmed the deaths but denied accusations that the company had frequently purchased illegal logs from the locals. The local police are investigating the case. --JP
