PARAMARIBO, SURINAME, October 6, 2008 – Two men were arrested over the weekend by the police in connection with the destruction of Hindu Deities at the temple under the Wijdenbosch Bridge at Meerzorg, Commewijne.

Police inspector Humphrey Naarden told the press that they still are not sure what the motive for the vandalism was, although one of the suspects has made a full confession. This is the second time this year that the temple has been attacked. At Phagwa (Holi), the Durga Deity was damaged.
