At least 20 suspects have been arrested over a young man’s death in the town of Bor in Jonglei State, police said.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Wednesday, Police Commissioner Major General Joseph Mayen Akoon said they were searching for those suspected to have been involved in the murder since last week.
“We arrested 20 members of two gang groups suspected of involvement in the death of Dhieu Mabior Piok,” Akoon explained.
“Investigations are still ongoing to establish the reasons for the killing. But there was a fight among two groups and the deceased was not a member any of the groups,” he added.
Akoon said the suspects would be arraigned in court once investigations are concluded.
