An 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.
The three victims were attacked with a machete and beheaded in the Gebang Rejo area in Poso. Two heads were left near a police station and the other was dumped in front of a church. The crime shocked public opinion both in Indonesia and abroad.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono condemned the crime; Pope Benedict XVI called it a "barbaric murder".
Hasanuddin, who is thought to have masterminded the triple murder, appeared before the judges in Jakarta’s central courthouse where the trial is being for security reasons.
The murders threatened to reignite violence between Sulawesi's Muslims and Christians, who were involved in sectarian violence between 1999 and 2001. Despite a peace deal in 2002, violence has repeatedly flared up since then.
A lawyer for the three men said all three admitted to their involvement in the murders, which was perpetrated as an act of revenge against Christians for the death of Muslims.
"now on trial for his life for the beheading murder of three Christian girls.."
He is going to get a slap on the wrist, a five year jail sentence and he'll be out in one. Then he can start all over again.
Again with the religion of peace.
It takes a cruel, hard hearted , venomous ,detestable,rancid piece of human garbage to cut the heads off of 3 school girls.
No punishment possibly thought up in the minds of sane men could mete out justice to this fine example of Muslim manhood.
There are thousands of these sub-humans just as deadly , just as venomous, just as indoctrinated into this cult of Satan.
When george Bush went into Iraq he mispoke and called it a Crusade against evil. That is what is truly needed . A crusade that will destroy this cult back in numbers where it will take 500 years for them to resume their Evil ways.
These Indonesian show trials are a joke. They convict the guy, sentence him, and then the Moslem government lets him go, as they did the Bali bombers.
Moslems believe in power, not justice.
So we will see this guy duly convicted, then soon "amnestied." And off he will go with the blessings of all in the Indonesian government to plot and kill again.
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
Give that this is islamic justice, I predict 5 year sentences for him and his buddies. Out in 3 years on good behavior for praying to Allah 5 times a day.
"The crime shocked public opinion both in Indonesia and abroad."
Wrong. Muslims all over Asia and the Middle East quietly giggled with delight at the rabid slaughter of infidels.
