Jakarta – A 22-year-old migrant student Achmad, who was allegedly kidnapped by the Free Papua Movement (OPM) last Saturday, was found dead and mutilated on Tuesday evening, Antara news agency reported.

During the Saturday attack in Skouw, some 80 kilometers from Jayapura and mainly inhabited by migrants, the rebels also allegedly killed Zakaria Sogi (31) and Udin (30), and injured Sukardji (41), Murdianto (29) and Parto (26).

Jayapura Police chief Superintendent Daud Sihombing, told reporters that the attack in Skouw was being investigated. Sihombing however admitted that it would not be easy to identify the attackers, who had escaped across the border with Papua New Guinea, only 14 km away from Skouw.

The attack in Skouw was the second by the OPM rebels in Jayapura. On December 7, the OPM armed rebel group raided a police station in Abepura, 15 km away from Jayapura, killing two policemen and a civilian guard while injuring three other policemen.
