August 11, 2015 (WAU) – 14 suspects have been arrested in connection with the death of a payam administrator in South Sudan’s Western Bahr el Ghazal state, an official said.

The commissioner of Wau county, Elia Kamilio Dimo said security personnel made arrests following last week’s murder of Natale John and Yona Francis, a policeman.

Also wounded in the attack was Wau county paramount chief, William Kamillio Gwage.

“We have arrested 14 [suspects] and they are being detained pending investigations. We are still tracking anyone we suspect to be behind this killing,” Dimo said on Tuesday.

He further disclosed that all the 14 suspects were arrested from within Bagari county.
