Bhubaneswar: Nearly 14 years after Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two sons were burnt to death by a mob in Odisha, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today arrested two absconding accused in the case.
A CBI team arrested Ghanashyam Mohant and Ranjan Mohant from their villages Gayalmunda and Bhalughera in Keonjhar district in Odisha, a senior district police official, who assisted in the arrest, told IANS.
Staines and his two sons Philip and Timothy were burnt to death January 22, 1999, while they were sleeping in their station wagon in front of a church at Manoharpur village in Keonjhar, about 400 km from Bhubaneswar.
At least three accused in the case went absconding. While the CBI has arrested two of them, the third is still untraced.
