Buol, C Sulawesi - Buol Hospital again received three victims of armed violence on Sunday evening (Sept 5).
The victims were identified as Lubis (33) who suffered from gunshot wound in his right elbow, Sudirman (31) who was injured in his left thigh, and Sutomo (35) who was wounded in his left cheek.
"They had actually been admitted here earlier, and later they had decided to return home. But their wounds are not fully cured, so they need to be treated again," dr. Arianto Panumbang of Buol Hospital, Sunday evening (Sept. 6).
Sudirman said he had left the hospital by force on September 2, because he had been afraid of several police officers who had threatened by pointing their guns at certain patients.
"I was traumatized and therefore I ran away and went home," Sudirman, a resident of Leok Dua, said.
After staying at home for two days, his gunshot wound got worse, so he decided to return to the hospital.
Lubis, a farmer, told a similar story, saying that he had seen several people running out of the hospital as several police officers went on rampage in the hospital.
"I was traumatized," Lubis said. Sudirman and Lubis said that they had been shot while riding motorcycles around the venue of armed clash between Buol residents and police.
The security situation in Buol is now conducive after the clash which was triggered by the death of a motorist named Kasmir Timumun in jail on August 30.
The unrest and shooting incident which broke out in Buol district, Central Sulawesi Province, on August 31, had claimed eight lives and wounded 26 others.
The total number of dead and injured victims had been verified by Buol public hospital`s authority here Sunday evening.
"The victims include Kasmir Timumun. He died in jail but the postmortem of his body was conducted here so that it was registered at our hospital," said the hospital`s doctor, Arianto Penumbang earlier. (*)
