Kuki Liberation Organisation/Kuki Liberation Army (KLO/KLA) is engaging in intense investigation on the killing of its 'home secretary' Seikhohao Khongsai, in an ambush on Saturday last.
Talking to reporters somewhere in Saikul area today, KLO/KLA general secretary L Timothy warned that by July 18 the outfit involved in the killing of the home secretary of KLO/KLA should make known their identity and also the reason for the killing or else the outfit will spare no stone unturned to give befitting punishment to the culprits.
"Why did these people have to mete out such an inhuman act on the family members of Seikhohao Khongsai alias Marwin?" asked L Timothy.
The KLO/KLA general secretary then expressed his regret that the killing of Seikhohao Khongsai alias Marwin is a big loss to the movement of the Kuki statehood demand.
On behalf of the KLO/KLA, L Timothy strongly condemned the killing of Marwin and said, "Such an act will not be forgiven" .
L Timothy then expressed his gratitude to Kuki frontal organisations for extending their co-operations to Marwin's family members from the time when they were rushed to the hospital and till the funeral.
