A cosmetics salesgirl was attacked and murdered on Friday morning by three machete-wielding men in Palu, Central Sulawesi, in yet another grisly terror attack on young females in the tense province.

Twenty-year-old Supriyanti — Yanti to those close to her — was attacked by three men riding a motorcycle. She was also on a motorcycle with two friends.

Yanti’s friend Anca, 23, who was driving, managed to avoid injury, while Yanti and her friend Evi, 20, received full blows from the machetes.

Yanti suffered a fatal laceration to her neck, while Evi’s arm was nearly hacked off by the attackers.

After the men sped away, Anca took his seriously injured friends to Wirabuana hospital, but they were not admitted as hospital personnel barred them from entering on the grounds that “the wounds were too serious”.

He later managed to get both Evi and Yanti to Undata Hospital, but Yanti died on the way due to blood loss…

Dog Pundit is posting graphic photos of the victim, for those of you with the stomach to look evil in the eye.

Meanwhile, an arrest in the recent beheadings of three Christian schoolgirls:

Jakarta. November 19, 2005. Indonesian police said Saturday they have arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of involvement in the beheading of three teenage Christian girls in the religiously-divided district of Poso.

Police arrested Irfan Masuro in Poso in Central Sulawesi province last Sunday, said national police spokesman Sunarko Danu Ardanto.

Machete-wielding attackers ambushed the three high school students on their way home on October 29, killing three and wounding the fourth, police said. Two of the victims` heads were found near a police post while the third was discovered outside a Christian church.

The incident has sparked public indignation at home and overseas. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono condemned the killings and Pope Benedict XVI deplored what he described as “barbaric murder.”
