Settlers killed in C. Kalimantan

PANGKALAN BUN, Central Kalimantan: Attacks on Madurese
migrants continued when an elderly couple was found hacked and
speared to death and their home in the village of Pasir Panjang
burned.

Tawi, 70, and his wife Masriah, 60, were found dead after the
attack on Friday morning.

Two of their children, Pasimin and Sopiah, managed to escape
during the attack by a group of unknown men.

Police were still investigating the attack over the weekend.

"We still can't say who the attackers were, we are still
investigating," West Kota Waringin Police chief Ajd. Comm. Husni
Rifa'i told journalists.

Unlike recent attacks against settlers, the victims were not
beheaded. (32)
