Friday night
on April 30, 1999, at around 20.30 pm, the people of Cot Murong Village, Dewantara District, held a grand meeting to commemorate 1 Muharram which coincided with 30 April 1999.by the security forces, the 1 Muharram warning that is usually organized by Islamic communities everywhere throughout Aceh Province, is called a lecture of the Free Aceh Movement (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, GAM).
then came the news that a member of the TNI from Unity Den Rudal Unit 001 / Pulo Rungkom Sergeant, named Adityawarman, disappeared during the infiltration in the middle of lecture activities (Description Kapuspen TNI, the name of the missing member is Sergeant Chief Edi, from Den Missile 001 / Pulo Rungkom, North Aceh).It is not clear whether members of the TNI were properly lost or other possibilities occurred, but certainly no one from the population knows of its existence. And certainly again, that night nothing happened in Cot Murong Village.
on the night of his sabt
a military truck from the Units of Missile Missile 001 / Pulo Rungkom whirling in Cot Murong Village with unclear activity, but that day nothing happened.
Starting at 05.00 am the troops of the Missile Den 001 / Pulo Rungkom started operations in Cot Murong Village area. that Sunday morning people were preparing for the feeding of orphans in connection with the 1 Muharram commemoration held since last Friday night. The community cut 4 cows in the yard of Al-Abrar Mosque, Cot Murong village.
at that time, at around 11:00 am came the forces of the missile Den to the place of kenduri and on the pretext of asking the missing members the day before began to care for the local residents. It was reported that at that time no less than 20 people were persecuted by TNI members. the practice of violence and abuse by acting violently, slapping and beating until injury, has occurred.
when the action was launched, the residents had time to record the words issued by the TNI members saying "WE WILL SHOOT ALL PEOPLE WHEN A MEMBER OF OUR MEMBERS ARE NOT FOUND".
aware of the worrisome condition, then residents from Murong Village and the villages onga such as West Lancang Village, Nisam District and Paloh Lada, consisting of youth, women, parents and children gathered to prevent further possible persecutionlet alone the military has issued a threat that is quite scary.Suddenly, at 13.00 pm came another TNI troop consisting of 7 trucks of TNI members to the location of kenduri. Seeing that, people who have gathered from various parts of the District try to block.
at 14.00 pm, a negotiation took place between the Dewantara sub-district and the Dewantara sub-district, known as the MUI of the District: "The TNI will not come to Cot Murong Village for any reason".

Sunday night, May 2, 1999.villagers are aware of TNI infiltration between the hours of 20:00 pm until dawn to Cot Murong Village and West Lancang Village. even residents also know of a boat that is estimated to belong to the military trying to make a landing on the beach Village Cot Murong, but canceled because it already known by local residents. until that time nothing happened, but the anxiety of the population grew, and from then on they all began to gather until Monday morning.
Exactly at 09.00 am, 4 trucks of TNI troops came again into West Lancang Village, the village of Cot Murong. the masses of the assembled people felt anxious and began to arm themselves with wood and machetes (without firearms). Then came the Head of Dewantara, Drs. Marzuki Amin to KKA Simpang and start negotiating with the TNI apparatus. The apparatus is stubborn and the negotiations are stuck. the camat still holds to the previous agreement that has been agreed by the community with the Dewantara Koramil which in essence the TNI no longer perform operations in their area. The negotiations lasted long enough. Time is showing almost at 12.00 pm.
to show the seriousness of the heart and the enormous plea for the troops to be withdrawn immediately and the TNI to honor the agreement that has been made, Marzuki Amin Camat had removed the title from his chest. But instead the Camat was then beaten by soldiers.
at that moment suddenly a truck belonging to the TNI was moving and passing, from the truck of the soldiers throwing stones at the people, and the people who were drawn back threw stones at the truck. at about the same time a member of the army ran towards the bushes and the people who were hooked after him. Suddenly from the direction of the bush was heard a gunshot. The weapon's eruption was like a "commando" followed by a barrage of attacks. the slaughter began immediately. Exactly at 12:30 pm.
At Genesis.
At 12:30 pm, the rumbling and shouting of humans meets KKA Simpang. Thousands of people ran to avoid attacks from the TNI. two journalists RCTI (Umar HN and Said Kaban) who happened to have been on the scene had recorded important events that occurred either with photos or video. can be said, the recording results it became one of the most accurate and undeniable evidence of how the actual events. This is the story of the Loyalty of TNI soldiers to the People of Aceh, Human life is meaningless .whereas the Acehnese are quite meritorious to this country but why there is such a barbaric treatment.
