However, Muslims for Human Rights accused the police of extra-judicial killings saying some of those who were alleged to be among the five suspected had actually been in police custody for about 10 days. However, Muhuri chair Khelef Khalifa said police are not allowed to kill suspects when there are court processes that should be followed. He said Elungata is only trying to whip up public emotions against human rights organisations by portraying them as insensitive to human lives.

He said police should concentrate on their work to maintain law and order and let human rights organisations do theirs.
