Three men rearrested

Three men rearrested over Poso beheadings

Authorities have rearrested three men on suspicion of involvement in the beheading of teenage Christian girls in the religiously- divided district of Poso, a report said on Tuesday. The three men and two others had been suspected of involvement in the killings but were released on Saturday after police cited a lack of evidence. But the head of the military command overseeing Central Sulawesi province, Maj. Gen. Arief Budi Sampurno, was quoted by Antara as saying the rearrest of the three followed results of DNA tests on objects found in the suspects' possession. "Based on these new findings, that is that the DNA of the victims were found on knives used by the three suspects to conduct the alleged murder, the three were rearrested on Monday," Sampurno said. He did not identify the three. --AFP
