Security operatives in Sudan’s West Kordofan State have arrested a suspect for allegedly killing two oil engineers who had been working for Petro Energy Company in the state last year.

Addressing the press on Sunday, Director of the National Intelligence and Security Service, Mohamed Atta Abbas al-Moula, said the suspect was traced by use of sophisticated intelligence technology that revealed his whereabouts.

He pointed out that this is the second suspect since October last year, adding that the case will be preceded to the court as normal.

Muhanad Mustafa and Mohammed Shiekh Iddris were killed in September 2016 when they were carrying on their routine check on oil fields in West Kordofan state.
