PDI-P councillor killed in Aceh

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: A member of the South Aceh council and head
of the local chapter of PDI Perjuangan, Harun Aldy, has been
found dead in South Aceh from gunshot and stab wounds.

Local police chief Maj. Supriadi Djalal said the body of Harun
Aldy, 57, was found on Sunday morning by locals in Ruak village
of North Kluet district, about 40 kilometers from Tapak Tuan, the
main town of South Aceh.

The last time Harun was seen alive in public was during a
council plenary session on Wednesday when he sharply criticized
the executive's policy and alleged fund mismanagement in several
humanitarian and development projects.

"We are investigating the attack. Harun was stabbed in the
back 10 times and there is a gunshot wound to his forehead,"
Supriadi said adding that the motive for the murder remains
unclear.

The killing was the third in Aceh since humanitarian pause
between Free Aceh Movement (GAM) separatists and the government
came into effect on June 2.(50/edt)
