After shooting two suspects in an exchange of gunfire, police are now hunting three additional suspects in the murder of two policemen in Palu.

The three suspects were identified as S, aka AW, B aka O and M aka PE.

“S is the leader, the rest provide funds,” National Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said on Sunday.

Boy said the group had planned to kill policemen since August last year and decided to carry out their plan in a police post in front of a BCA branch office on Jl. Emy Saelan, Palu on May 25., when they shot dead two policemen and injured another officer.

Two suspects, Aryanto and Rafli, were arrested hours after the deadly shooting, while two other suspects, Fauzan and Dayat, were killed in an exchange of gunfire on Saturday.
