During the case's 14th court hearing, on the Poso sectarian clash between May and September 2000, prosecutor Lantara said that Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus Da Silva and Marinus Riwu were guilty of violating Article 340 of the Criminal Code, relating to premeditated murder, which is punishable by death. Thousands of visitors, who had been crowding the court building from 6 a.m. local time, burst into cheers and clapping their hands in joy when the prosecutor requested that the death penalty be imposed on the defendants. The clashes between Christians and Muslims in Tentena, Poso district, claimed at least 300 lives.
