(Compass) – Rev. Jarok Ratu, 35, is still missing 10 days after a group of unidentified men kidnapped him in the early hours of December 3. National media reports suggested the kidnappers were looking for funds recently donated for the construction of a new church building. Ratus wife said the intruders initially asked for money and searched the house before leaving with Ratu, saying they would only borrow him and that they intended to release him. Villagers who searched for Ratu on the following day found only the T-shirt he was wearing that night, marked with three bullet holes, laying on the beach near his home. Police have arrested one suspect in connection with the disappearance, but at press time, the investigation was still continuing.
