The killings were probably retaliation for an earlier attack that left around seven dead, Undialu said.
“This has escalated into the massacre of innocent women and kids,” Undialu said.
Six people had been ambushed and killed near Peta on Saturday, Hela Police Chief Inspector Teddy Augwi told the newspaper.
The victims’ relatives retaliated with rifles the next day, killing between 16 and 18 people at Karida, including pregnant women, he said.
