Police arrest one more in Ahmadi attack case

The police have arrested another suspect in the case of the deadly attacks against Ahmadis that occurred earlier this month.

“[We] caught one more this morning,” National Police chief detective Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said Friday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

He identified the suspect’s name as Yahya Iskandar, who is also known as Ocrot. Yahya, a resident of Cibaliung, was arrested in his house.

Ito said that the police traced Yahya after watching the video of the attack in Cikeusik, Banten, which killed three Ahmadis and injured five.

“He was the one wearing white clothes and attacked using a [piece of] wood,” he said, referring to the video, which has also been circulating on YouTube.

The police thus far have arrested 10 suspects and are pursuing four others.

Yahya has been charged with conducting assault and collective assault.
