They have to be prosecuted on the charges of “murder”, “illegally storing and using weapons” and “resisting on-duty officials”.

A number of rioters, armed with grenades, petrol bombs and other weapons, attacked those working at the construction site. It's so sad that three police officers and one rioter were killed during the incident, while another rioter was injured.
