DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 11 (MExN): 12 signatories claiming to be the “Mothers of all NSCN” today in a press statement said they were greatly pained to “observe the horrible nature of killings carried out by the murderers particularly on the innocent mother near Kohima on 8th September.”
“We acknowledge that NSCN has its own shortcoming in the struggle for liberation of our people; however cases of this nature of abduction and execution after violating the sanctity of women have so far been unheard of.”
The statement said the “extreme beastly nature” of the murder committed on Mareila, a mother of four minor children, “who was physically violated before smashing her head to death, found in separate location from other victim is inexpressible.”
The statement also questioned the police as to why they had “knowingly skipped the post mortem on the dead body of the woman.”
The Collective Leadership of the NSCN (I-M) is appealed to constitute a high level enquiry committee to “expose the heinous killers who had made excessive mortification of womanhood and carried out this summary execution.” Appealing to all Naga people “irrespective of professions to collectively unfold the identity of the murderers to stop this intolerable act once and for all, which is against the very values of Naga society,” the statement said, “We believe taking denial position of any act against humanity is against God.”
“We pray and share our empathy with the helpless children now orphaned, forced upon them by this tragedy. We pray that the Almighty give rest to her soul as we struggle forward for those living. We also take this moment to express out thanks to one and all in the Angami region and particularly women for their act of compassion and fulfilling the last rite of human dignity.”
