Jakarta. Police have arrested one person and are on the hunt for another 19 following a vigilante attack in Papua on Friday that left a suspected extortionist dead.
The attack occurred late on Saturday night on Jalan Hasanudin in Timika, the capital of Mimika district, provincial police spokesman Sr. Comr. Patrige Renwarin said on Sunday as quoted by Antara.
He said the incident appeared to have been triggered by a clash a week earlier between residents and a group of suspected protection racketeers on Jalan Sam Ratulangi, in which several residents were injured.
On Saturday, in an apparent act of retaliation, a group of some 20 residents armed with bladed weapons, including arrows, marched on a known hangout of a local gang notorious for demanding protection money from local businesses and residents.
One of the suspected gang members tried to flee from the mob but was chased down and severely beaten, Patrige said.
“The victim died as a result of the assault,” he added, identifying the dead man as Korinus Karet, 42.
Police have arrested one member of the mob and are searching for the others, Patrige said.
