AMBON, Maluku: Three suspects in an attack on a Mobile Brigade police post on Loki island in Maluku reconstructed the crime on Monday.

The suspects -- Abdulah Umamit, alias Dullah, Zainudin Nasir, alias Nurdin, alias Safni, alias Weljon, and Asep Djaja, alias Aji alias, Dahlan -- reconstructed the May attack that left seven people dead, including five Mobile Brigade personnel.

Six other suspects -- Ustad Arzad, alias Asadulah, Jodi, Abu Harun, Abu Zar, Muklis and Andi -- remain on the run.

Sr. Comr. Bambang Hermanu of the Maluku Police said officers had completed their investigation of the three suspects and would soon send their case files to prosecutors.

"This reconstruction is simply to complete the case files and the evaluation process of the investigation," Bambang said. -- JP
