Anger mounts against the PKI over the killings (Berita Harian, 1965)
Berita Harian, 7 October 1965, p. 1: Sukarno's first cabinet meeting after 30 September; Nahdlatul Ulama demands a PKI ban and claims rebels armed Pemuda Rakyat, Gerwani and SOBSI, and that Pemuda Rakyat and Gerwani members trained at 'Sarang Buaya' (Lubang Buaya). Also press and rally restrictions in Sumatra and an army officer calling the PKI 'wild beasts thirsting for blood'. An early, pre-mutilation-story linking of Gerwani to the coup.

Juga pembatasan pers dan rapat di Sumatra serta perwira yang menyebut PKI 'binatang buas haus darah'. Pengaitan awal Gerwani dengan kudeta sebelum cerita mutilasi.
