Suspicious Actions Follow Murder of Pastor
Body destroyed before being identified; police try to link him with poachers.
NEW DELHI, June 14
(CDN) —
A pastor in
Assam state was murdered and cremated without being identified last
month before family members learned of his death when they saw a photo
of his body in a newspaper.
The body of Son Englang, 35, was recovered alongside National Highway 37 on May 20, with marks indicating his hands had been tightly bound before he was shot. The pastor from Mallasi village, Karbi Anglong, supported by Gospel for Asia (GFA), had reportedly been kidnapped early in the morning of the previous day as he rode his bicycle to the Bokakhat marketplace to buy paint materials for his nearly completed church building.
The unknown kidnappers, suspected Hindu extremists, reportedly took him to the jungle to kill him. Read more at Compass Direct.
