Seven members of organized forces have been arrested in connection
with the killing of a two-year old baby and a man at Juba’s Gudele
area, according to Brigadier Daniel Justin, the police spokesperson.
The two were killed in a night robbery on Tuesday night.
The chairman of the quarter council of Gudele Block five, Emmanuel
Clement told Eye Radio on Wednesday that a group of armed men riding
in three Toyota pickups entered the area and started raiding houses.
Emmanuel Clement said they attacked one home whereby they opened fire,
killing the baby boy and wounding his mother. An unnamed man was also
shot dead in a neighboring house.
The armed men reportedly made away with various valuables, including
electronics.
“We have arrested seven people and unfortunately they are from the
joint force,” Brigadier Justin said.
He said they will be investigated to determine their units of
operation and will be arraigned in court.
“There was a vehicle that was used during operations and it got stuck
in mud; that is evidence that made us arrest the suspects,” Brigadier
Justin added.
In August, the Minister of Defense has told Eye Radio some of the
criminals behind night robberies in Juba are members of the organized
forces.
