Ten people were, on Tuesday, arrested in Amolatar district in connection with the murder of a 20-year-old man. Dicken Apwo was killed by a mob in November last year.

"We are still investigating the matter and if we finished our inquiries then the suspects would be produced before court," said Fred Enyang, the officer in charge crime at Amolatar Police Station.

Enyang identified those arrested as Okello Jimmy, Ayato Paskweli, Omara Bosco, Obongi Vincent, Omara Jimmy, Denis Omee, Etura Michael, Akello Sylvia, Adongo Lily and Odongo Bosco.

Enyang condemned the act and warned the public not to take the law in their hands, but to report cases to the nearest police outpost or central police station.
