Four arrested for arson

BOGOR (JP): Bogor police have arrested four people, who were
allegedly responsible for setting fire to three houses, situated
on Jl. Parung Banteng in Katulampa village, East Bogor district
on Tuesday, an officer said on Wednesday.

Bogor Police Precinct detectives chief Sr. Insp. Roy Hardi
Siahaan said the police were still questioning to clarify the
motive.

"The four suspects, who live only one kilometer away from the
fire, decided to set the houses ablaze as they have been built on
disputed land," Siahaan said.

One of the three houses belonged to a villager named Ujang,
while the remaining two belonged to Uwes. Uwes had rented his two
houses to seven families.

Siahaan said the angry men claimed that the land belonged to
them, while Uwes and Ujang said that they had procured the land
from the rightful owner, named as Menol. (21/lup)
