Indonesian prosecutors allege man planned hundreds of Christian decapitationsAn Indonesian man now on trial for his life for the beheading murder of three Christian girls had planned hundreds more killings, prosecutors told a court in Poso, Sulawesi this week.
AsiaNews reports that the trial of Hasanuddin, who is the first of three men charged with the 2005 decapitation of three Christian schoolgirls in Poso, Central Sulawesi, opened yesterday.
In addition to three schoolgirls, it is alleged that he also ordered his men to behead at least a hundred Christians in Poso as an act of revenge for Muslims killed in the 1999-2001 sectarian violence.
According to Prosecutor Payaman SH, Hasanuddin gave orders to his men to get "the heads of at least a hundred Kongkoli (a local an epithet for Christians) youth, adults and women". "This is vengeance," the order read. "Blood will be paid with blood, a life with a life, a head with a head". If found guilty, all three face the death penalty.
