Policeman killed at North Bahr El Ghazal polling center

A policeman in Northern Bahr al Ghazal has been killed on the third voting day by an angry man who was caught drunk at the polling station the day before. According to reporter Peter Ochalla, the officer, Major Makuei Ariech, was reportedly stabbed to death in a retaliatory attack by the man he had stopped from causing chaos at the polling station the previous day. The man had been drunk a day before and returned with his brother to take revenge. The station was closed indefinitely. Voters told Gurtong-website that lack of transport had contributed to the slow process.
