National Police Headquarters spokesman Senior Commissioner Boy Rafli Amar said on Thursday Deden had been named a suspect since Tuesday (Feb 1). Deden was to be charged under Criminal Law Number 160 about anti provocation and Number 212 about resisting the authorities.
"Deden is a Bekasi resident but we still do not know his position in the Ahmadiyah sect," Boy said.
He said so far the number of suspects in the Cikeusik incident had reached 13, including Deden while the police had so far questioned 12 people from Ahmadiyah as witness.
Up till now Banten police had sent the dossiers on the eight suspects to the public prosecutor`s office.
A series of attacks on Ahmadiyah religious sect followers and their properties have occurred in some parts of Indonesia over the past two years.
The latest incident happened in Umbulan village Cikeusik subdistrict, Pandeglang district, Banten province, on February 6, killing three people.
