Banda Aceh – Four people have been found murdered in Indonesia's troubled Aceh province, apparently the latest victims of separatist violence, health workers said Monday.

The bodies were discovered Sunday in a rubber plantation in Langkat, a district in North Sumatra province which borders Aceh, a local paramedic said.

The victims all bore gunshot wounds in the head and torture marks and appeared to be in their 20s, said the paramedic, who declined to give his name. Residents said they heard gunfire the previous evening.
