Trial for girls’ beheading begins
Prosecutors say Hasanuddin wanted to avenge the deaths of Muslims by Christian mobs during sectarian fighting between 1999 and 2002 and left a note with the girls’ heads vowing more machete attacks.
Hasanuddin and two other suspects captured months after the October 2005 attack on an isolated jungle track are being charged under anti-terrorism laws and face the death penalty if found guilty.
